In THE WEIGHT OF HONOR, Kyra finally meets her cryptic uncle, and is shocked to discover he is not the man she expected. She embarks on a period of training which will test her stamina and her frustration, as she soon encounters the limits of her power. Unable to summon her dragon, unable to search deep within, and feeling an urgency to help in her father’s wars, Kyra doubts if she will ever become the warrior she thought she was. And when she meets a mysterious boy, more powerful than her, deep in the forest, she wonders what her future really has in store for her.

Duncan must descend the peaks of Kos with his new army and, vastly outnumbered, launch a risky invasion on the capital. If he wins, waiting behind its ancient walls, he knows, will be the old king and his nest of nobles and aristocrats, all with their own agendas, all of them as quick to betray as they are to embrace. Unifying Escalon may, indeed, be harder than freeing it.

Alec, in Ur, must tap his unique skills in the forge to aid the resistance if they have any chance of defending against the looming Pandesian invasion. He is awestruck when he encounters Dierdre, the strongest girl he has ever meet. The time she has a chance to make a stand against Pandesia, and as she bravely faces off, she who wonders if her father and his men will have her back this time.

Vesuvius leads his Troll nation across a vulnerable Escalon, devastating the land, while Theos, enraged at what becomes of his son, is on a rampage himself, and will not stop until all of Escalon is aflame.

With its strong atmosphere and complex characters, THE WEIGHT OF HONOR is a sweeping saga of knights and warriors, of kings and lords, of honor and valor, of magic, destiny, monsters and dragons. It is a story of love and broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is fantasy at its finest, inviting us into a world that will live with us forever, one that will appeal to all ages and genders.

Book #4 in KINGS AND SORCERERS will be published soon.

Ratings and reviews

The first book was nice. Was something like a pixars scotish medival story. The following books slows become rushed, and cheesy, unnecessary, the flaws are becoming more showly. Some scenes are so cheesy that i skipped chapters to preference to other characters. Corny lines. Sorry but i feel cheated. The author seems distracted, narrating scenes seems jumbled up. If you dont know how to write mystic and have no sustem pls dont. Jamm them in out reading view it can be painful

Kyle's eyes are grey, no they're blue, nope now they're grey again!! It's actually quite infuriating as the story is quite entertaining but all the mistakes just ruin it. Also the author could pay a bit more attention to her own story as its often inconsistent... Plus the same cliffhanger every chapter gets old fast.

Apparently no one proofread this. Beyond several bad grammatical errors and in one case completely nonsensical sentence, she actually puts the wrong character name in, calling Theos "Vesuvius" which really changes the meaning of the passage. The same old literary tricks are employed over and over making it very predictable. You get tired of the death blow being struck and the person resigned to their fate only to have someone save them at the last instant. The cliffhanger chapters, etc.
