Kingdom Rising
He escaped the prison. He survived the marsh. But freedom means nothing if the person he has spent years searching for is still lost.
In the third installment of the series, Riggs emerges from the ruins of captivity carrying the weight of Kale's apparent sacrifice and a promise he refuses to abandon. With the calculating Captain Stonegrave at his side and the Fire Kingdom close behind, he crosses an unforgiving wilderness toward the sea, determined to reach the Water Kingdom and find Alora-the woman who promised she would wait for him.
Getting there is only the beginning.
What follows becomes an epic fantasy sea adventure across dangerous waters, hostile ships, rival kingdoms, and shifting allegiances. Riggs is pulled into naval warfare while discovering the growing strength of his own elemental water magic, a family legacy he never understood, and a place within the Water Kingdom he never expected to inherit.
But time refuses to stand still.
Years of searching transform Riggs from a fugitive into a hardened sailor and commander, yet every voyage leads back to the same unanswered question: What happened to Alora? When his search finally carries him to a mysterious island untouched by the laws of the kingdoms, he discovers that some prisons are built from more than iron-and that ancient powers thought lost to history are beginning to awaken.
Saving the woman he loves soon becomes inseparable from protecting the world around them.
As political betrayal, kingdom warfare, mythical creatures, elemental magic, and military conflict converge, old allies return, hidden loyalties are exposed, and the balance of power between the kingdoms begins to collapse. Riggs must decide who deserves his trust while confronting the possibility that the forces gathering around him are far greater than any navy or army can contain.
The search of one man for one woman is becoming a struggle for every kingdom.
Kingdom Rising is a sweeping epic fantasy adventure of survival, lost love, family legacy, betrayal, naval warfare, elemental power, dragons, griffins, and kingdoms standing on the edge of transformation.
And as forgotten powers awaken and armies begin to gather, one truth becomes impossible to ignore:
The old world is ending. Something far greater is rising in its place.
