A DESPERATE HOPE A CRUMBLING KINGDOM Dressa married the love of her life, but she’s never felt more alone. Rhys’s whole life changed in a moment of distress, and now, for humanity’s sake, they must see it through. Eti has hated one family his whole life, and now he finds himself in the center of his nightmares. And Imorie, faced with the unraveling of the kingdom they were born to rule, has a take the path laid out for them…or take their birthright for themself. The signs are everywhere—a crisis is coming, something humanity has never faced before. Something the Kidaa are desperate to warn them about. How far will the Truthspoken go to save their kingdom? I was halfway through writing The Second Ruler when I realized it was going to be around 1000 pages or more. That's a lot of story! So to get you the story sooner, I’m breaking this story arc into three The Second Part One, The Second Part Two, and The Second Part Three. Each book is novel-length on its own, but is a part of the greater story arc.
