DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Oron didn’t want to rule Sehaann. But now he’s leading his nation to war for its very existence. He fights for his people’s safety, for a peaceful future, for freedom from the tyranny trying to eliminate him. Heritage has plagued his life and now that legacy hangs on the edge of oblivion. No matter how he got here, he can’t let it fall. Because failure means the end of everything he loves. Caught between obligation and duty, treachery and redemption, Sanjay is powerless to stop the machinations dragging him into war on the wrong side of the battlefield. He can’t fathom opposing his knightly brethren, but when he’s forced to face Oron from the enemy lines, all of his worst nightmares suddenly become reality. Destroy Oron and the knights of Sehaann, or sacrifice all he holds dear. Either choice means Sanjay loses. The persistent rage simmering in Kyren’s soul is now a demon threatening to consume him. Everywhere he turns, the consequences of his failure torment and remind him of how unworthy he is of his elite status. He’s a liability to those he’s sworn to protect and jeopardizes Oron’s battle plans at the worst possible moment. If he can’t control his seething vengeance, he’ll lose much more than his position. He’ll take the world down with him. All William wants is to protect his family. The ones he loves are worth everything to him so he extends his power beyond known limits to help Oron and his army succeed. What he achieves is beyond anyone’s expectation, but it’s more than even an immortal winged warrior can withstand. With godlike energy at his fingertips, he can alter reality to his whim. If he doesn’t obliterate it first. Overwhelmed and under siege, Taj can barely provide for his own community when refugees start arriving from around the country. As casualties mount, his leadership and therapeutic skills are stretched to the brink. But nothing prepares him for the horror of battle, where seconds mean the difference between life and death. Not even a gifted healer can save everyone. And sometimes, seconds are a luxury that no one can afford. In the ultimate battle for Sehaann’s survival, honor will be tested, loyalty will be shattered, sacrifices will be made, and no one will emerge unscathed. Everyone’s spent a lifetime giving all they have to fight for what they believe in. Now is when they find out if it’s enough. This work is intended for a mature audience and contains mature content.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The thrilling history of the Targaryens comes to life in this masterly work, the inspiration for HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon “The thrill of Fire & Blood is the thrill of all Martin’s fantasy work: familiar myths debunked, the whole trope table flipped.”—Entertainment Weekly Centuries before the events of A Game of Thrones, House Targaryen—the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria—took up residence on Dragonstone. Fire & Blood begins their tale with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and goes on to recount the generations of Targaryens who fought to hold that iconic seat, all the way up to the civil war that nearly tore their dynasty apart. What really happened during the Dance of the Dragons? Why was it so deadly to visit Valyria after the Doom? What were Maegor the Cruel’s worst crimes? What was it like in Westeros when dragons ruled the skies? These are but a few of the questions answered in this essential chronicle, as related by a learned maester of the Citadel. Readers have glimpsed small parts of this narrative in such volumes as The World of Ice & Fire, but now, for the first time, the full tapestry of Targaryen history is revealed. With all the scope and grandeur of Gibbon’s The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Fire & Blood is the first volume of the definitive two-part history of the Targaryens, giving readers a whole new appreciation for the dynamic, often bloody, and always fascinating history of Westeros. Praise for Fire & Blood “A masterpiece of popular historical fiction.”—The Sunday Times “The saga is a rich and dark one, full of both the title’s promised elements. . . . It’s hard not to thrill to the descriptions of dragons engaging in airborne combat, or the dilemma of whether defeated rulers should ‘bend the knee,’ ‘take the black’ and join the Night’s Watch, or simply meet an inventive and horrible end.”—The Guardian

Few legitimate claims to the Iron Throne still exist, and the war that has turned the world into little more than a wasteland has finally burned itself out. Or so it appears. For it’s not long before the survivors, outlaws, renegades, and carrion eaters of the Seven Kingdoms gather. Now, as the human crows assemble over a banquet of ashes, daring new plots and dangerous new alliances are formed, while surprising faces—some familiar, others only just appearing—emerge from an ominous twilight of past struggles and chaos to take up the challenges of the terrible times ahead. Nobles and commoners, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and sages, are coming together to stake their fortunes . . . and their lives. For at a feast for crows, many are the guests—but only a few are the survivors. Praise for George R. R. Martin and A Feast for Crows “The American Tolkien . . . Of those who work in the grand epic-fantasy tradition, [George R. R.
