Synopsis:
One crown can unite them—or destroy them all.
The three kingdoms lie splintered, their aging dragon riders content with stories of glorious battle victories. But a new evil creeps across the land. Inyene, a powerful noblewoman of the Northern Kingdom, plunders valuable resources to power mechanical dragons in her quest to gain a foothold in the Middle Kingdom. From there she will ascend the High Throne, once again uniting the realms under a single crown.
For the wearer of the Stone Crown can wield unlimited power—if it can be found.
Narissea has spent a quarter of her sixteen years slaving away in the mines, accused of a crime she didn’t commit. When word reaches her of the horrors assailing her village, Narissea knows she must act despite the risk. Already her arm is scarred with four brands signifying previous escape attempts. If she’s unsuccessful in her fifth, it will mean death.
But her life forever changes when she stumbles upon an injured dragon, discovers an ancient shrine, and learns the true purpose behind Lady Inyene’s mechanical abominations.
Now, Narissea has only one choice: gain Inyene’s trust and find a way to thwart her plans, even if it means sacrificing that which she desires most of all.
Her freedom.
Review:
I have read these so out of order, but so far it hasn't had any effect on my enjoyment or understanding of the world. I hope to get all the books in every series and have a nice binge in the requested reading order that's on her website.
I really like Narissea as a character. She hasn't completely lost herself even though she's been a slave for the past four years of her life. She still has fight in her, which while I don't know how realistic it is, is nice to see in a character.
Like all the books in the Kingdom of Torvald series', this is a very fast-paced book. The set up to the plot happens within a couple of chapters. I like a quick set up. Though a failing of the setup, is that the whole book kind of feels like a setup. The characters are all established and the mission they need to go on is all just set up in this book. Nobody really goes anywhere. But, we meet all the key characters and it does a good job setting up where the world is at, at this point in the country's history. As I mentioned, I have read these very much out of order and haven't even read all the books in all the series'. But, since they are typically set many years apart, it shouldn't matter a great deal that I haven't read them all, hopefully.
Of all the dragons I've met in these books, I might like this dragon the most. Not going to say too much more about him, as I don't want to spoil anything.
I am excited to read the next book in the series, and to see how these characters again.
