Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

You'll experience a cathartic conclusion to an epic love story that makes all the angst and battles worth it.

Synopsis

No matter how I had tried to avoid it, there was no escaping what we had: The kind of love you went to war for. And that’s exactly what I intended to do. Obsidian Throne is the fourth and final book in the Lochlann Feuds Series. Don't miss this stunning conclusion to Rowan's story!

At a Glance

The final chapter of the Lochlann Feuds delivers clan warfare, political intrigue, and a slow-burn payoff that rewards patient readers. Rowan and Evander lead Clan Bear into battle against a tyrant king while navigating their own relationship through the chaos. Scottish-inspired fantasy with shifting alliances and a satisfying HEA for the series-long romance. Book 4 of 4—do not start here.
