Synopsis

A god unleashed. A kingdom on the edge of ruin. War is coming and time is running out. Prince Callen will do anything to save his war ravaged kingdom. With Innesvale’s forces in shambles, the marble city stands vulnerable to invasion. An old foe rallies in the North. It’s only a matter of time before the Ice Fall seizes the opportunity to crush their greatest enemy. Caedrin, the God of Chaos, returns his gaze to Elyria. She is the key to releasing the magic that binds the Goddess of Death. Her return promises to be a reckoning, not solely for Innesvale, but all of Venterra. Caedrin’s path of destruction will not end until his sister freed or the god is dead. Cal and Elyria’s only hope lies in a cursed forest of myth. Few who enter the Blood Birches ever return. But the infamous forest holds more than salvation—secrets of Elyria’s past lurk amid the trees, and what they uncover threatens to change everything. Chaos is rising. Can they find the answers they need before Caedrin brings the world to ruin? “Silver Shard” propels readers on an unforgettable adventure, filled with immersive worlds, intense romance, and breathtaking magic. This thrilling third installment of the Sun Serpent Saga will captivate fans of epic fantasy series like “From Blood and Ash,” “Fourth Wing,” and “Throne of Glass.” The Sun Serpent Saga is a five book series and it’s recommended to begin this journey with book one, “Sun Serpent.”
