Hammer of Kings (A Work of Kings Duology Book 2)
About
Rebellion ravages Tal.
A new order rises from the ashes of the old, and the people who fought to build it are learning that seizing a crown and deserving one are not the same battle. A warrior who gave everything for the man beside her must decide what she still owes a cause when the reasons she believed in start to cost more than she can bear. A wife once dismissed by an entire court proves, one decision at a time, that she was never the fool anyone assumed. A son who spent his whole life being told what he wasn’t discovers, in the worst possible circumstances, exactly what he is, and finds something old and patient waiting in the dark, more than willing to help him become it.
Told across multiple unflinching first-person voices that began this saga, the second act follows a fractured family as they try to build something better than what raised them, out of borrowed counsel, broken promises, and the wreckage everyone left behind. Old rebellions collapse. New ones rise to take their place. Through it all, something watches from the shadows, waiting to see exactly what these people will owe it before the reckoning is through.
