In a land where magic has been forgotten but peace has reigned for centuries, a deadly unrest is simmering. Three kingdoms grapple for power—brutally transforming their subjects’ lives in the process. Amidst betrayals, bargains, and battles, four young people find their fates forever intertwined:Cleo: A princess raised in luxury must embark on a rough and treacherous journey into enemy territory in search of a magic long thought extinct.
Jonas: Enraged at injustice, a rebel lashes out against the forces of oppression that have kept his country impoverished—and finds himself the leader of a people’s revolution centuries in the making.
Lucia: A girl adopted at birth into a royal family discovers the truth about her past—and the supernatural legacy she is destined to wield.
Magnus: Bred for aggression and trained to conquer, a firstborn son begins to realize that the heart can be more lethal than the sword...
The only outcome that’s certain is that kingdoms will fall. Who will emerge triumphant when all they know has collapsed?
Morgan Rhodes is a pen name of Michelle Rowen, author of the Immortality Bites series, Nightshade series, Demon Princess series, Living in Eden series, and Nightwatchers series.
Falling Kingdoms comes out this Tuesday. What do you think of the blurb? The cover? The part of the premise that interests me is that there appears to be 4 leads. I wonder if this book will focus on all four or if each book in the series will follow one lead…What do you think?
I haven;t read any Young Adult books but this one does sound interesting. Absolutely love the cover! Sounds like there will be a book for each lead.
