Rising Shadows (The Navarre Chronicles #3)

A healer. A witch. An heir. A villainous monarch rising from the darkness. And a queen determined to protect the realm.

After a summer of traveling and unexpected alliances, Joseline finds herself face to face with the Goddess and The Twelve in the heart of Raenya. Despite the danger emerging from the darkness, their wisdom brings Joseline one step closer to defeating Aeron once and for all. Defeating him and rescuing her sister, held prisoner in his clutches. With Quinn by her side, the valiant duo will stop at nothing to continue strengthening their powers for the war threatening the horizon, even if it means putting aside their blossoming feelings and their inner doubts.

With the Shadow Games over and Erza named official heir of Ravencrest, she joins Evalyn, Jenson, and Maya in their return to the main cadre with orders to gather information that might prove useful to the covens. But between her friendship with Evalyn and her determination to prove herself a kind leader to her people, Erza disobeys her mother in the hopes of forming an alliance—one between the future Stormwood Queen and the future rulers of Dorwynn and Rathal.

Meanwhile, Edan returns to the Rekiv capital under the protection of the Elites, determined to discover the long-forgotten truths of the moonberries and how to use them to their advantage against the demons. A task, which proves much more difficult than any of them anticipated, and one that Edan is set on seeing through for himself and the sake of Navarre’s survival.

But with Julia’s life and countless others at risk, Joseline is more determined than ever to grow stronger and protect those she loves, and free her realm from the rising darkness, no matter the cost.
