King. Necromancer. Warrior.
Martris Drayke fought the usurper and defeated both the blood mage Arontala and the spirit of the Obsidian King.
As the newly crowned King of Margolan, Tris must rebuild a kingdom shattered by betrayal and bloodshed. Some of the usurper's loyalists evaded capture and remain a danger. Famine and hardship threaten to bring more chaos and divisions. And in his Court of Spirits, the necromancer king is overwhelmed by the ghosts seeking retribution and release.
With their royal wedding just weeks away, Tris and Kiara Sharsequin, heir to the throne of Isencroft, will unite the rule and succession of two allied kingdoms. Not everyone is pleased to see that happen. As threats multiply, Tris and Kiara must guard against traitors and enemies both inside and outside the castle, determined to destroy them and everything they fought to gain.
Meanwhile, former smuggler and mercenary Jonmarc Vahanian, the new Lord of Dark Haven, finds himself at the center of a power struggle among the undead vayash moru. As he untangles a web of deception, Jonmarc realizes that the conflict in Dark Haven threatens not only the future of the Winter Kingdoms but also the fate of the living, dead and undead.
Dark Haven is an action-packed epic fantasy adventure filled with magic, occult lore, honorable ghosts, vampire politics, loyal friends, found family, bloody battles, immortal creatures, secrets, treachery, and star-crossed love!
Can a royal marriage go off on a good start despite obstacles standing in the way, will a new lord of Dark Haven be able to tackle power struggles dealing the vayash moru, and can are summoner king survive a battle against one who was allied with the traitor to the throne, or will he die in the attempt?
For ages 18-older. So, we ended the last book with Tris's defeat of the obsidian king and almost died in the attempt, I like that we get introduced to Tris's cousin Jair, and Kiara's uncle from eastmark for their wedding guess he wanted to meet his niece's beau. When one thinks about weddings and not just any kind a ritualized wedding it is joy and revelry but since unfortunately the celebration gets interrupted by a magicked creature created from blood magic. We also get to see what Dark Haven is like while Jonmarc gets comfortable in his new position as Lord of Dark Haven and problems needed to be dealt with. Due to a lord who sided with the now dead traitor Tris has to go to war again with a contingent made up of soldiers, mages, and vayash moru. We also deal with betrayal both within and without the kingdom, The downside is the flow where all magic comes from is damaged from all the blood magic being performed where Carina is intent on fixing it and learns she needs Tris's help to do it.
