"Mercedes's thrilling trilogy comes to an electrifying conclusion (after Vow of the Shadow King) that doubles down on adventure, romance, magic, and intrigue...

About the Author

Sylvia Mercedes makes her home in the idyllic North Carolina countryside with her handsome husband, numerous small children, and the feline duo affectionately known as The Fluffy Brothers. When she's not writing she's . . . okay, let's be honest. When she's not writing, she's running around after her littles, cleaning up glitter, trying to plan healthy-ish meals, and wondering where she left her phone. In between, she reads a steady diet of fantasy novels. But mostly she's writing.
