Falling Kingdoms

An exciting new fantasy series from bestselling authors M. Lynn and Melissa A. Craven begins here with a story of prophecy, hidden identities, and forbidden romance. Before the dawn of a new age can begin, the old one must die. An empire will crumble. And a champion will lose. It's the same every millennia when the cycle of prophecy begins anew. One by one, the kingdoms of Teitora fall to the words of a book written long ago. Samara, knows nothing of her past. Orphaned among the servants of the Covenant of Morimei in their isolated city of caves, her mission is theirs. To guide the empire through the next cycle of prophecies and prevent the complete destruction of the world. After a vicious attack, Samara and her best friend Zak-who is equally unaware of his own crucial role in the prophecies-flee the aftermath, embarking on a perilous journey across the ocean to the distant kingdom of Doragune. There, the recurring prophecy awaits as the new cycle begins. Zak and Samara's journey is fraught with danger as rebels relentlessly pursue them for the coveted book of prophecies-a key to the fate of their world-now dismissed by many as a powerless relic of the past. When they reach their destination, a familiar princess and her beguiling guard have a proposition. An alliance, of sorts. One that is likely to get them killed and jeopardize a future less certain than the book of prophecies would have them believe. Join Samara, Odessa, Zak, and Gideon as they navigate the ancient fates, fall in love, and battle each other to be the ones standing when the Kingdom comes crumbling down.

In a land where magic has been forgotten but peace has reigned for centuries, three kingdoms grapple for power. Amidst betrayals, bargains, and battles, four young people find their fates forever intertwined. Cleo: A princess raised in luxury must embark on a treacherous journey into enemy territory. Jonas: Enraged at injustice, a rebel lashes out against the forces of oppression that have kept his country impoverished, and finds himself the leader of a people's revolution centuries in the making. Lucia: A girl adopted at birth into a royal family discovers the truth about her past and the supernatural legacy she is destined to wield. Magnus: Bred for aggression and trained to conquer, a firstborn son begins to realize that the heart can be more lethal than the sword...

Auranos has been conquered and the three kingdoms are now unwillingly united as one country called Mytica. Cleo is now a prisoner in her own palace, forced to be an ambassador for Mytica. Magnus stands to eventually inherit the new kingdom but is still obsessed with his feelings for his adopted sister Lucia. Lucia is haunted by the deadly outcome of her breathtaking display of magic. Jonas watches at the palace gates, a troop of rebels behind him, waiting for him to tell them how he plans to overtake King Gaius. When Gaius announces that a road is to be built into the Forbidden Mountains, formally linking all of Mytica together, he sets off a chain of cataclysmic events that will forever change the face of this land.

One by one, the kingdoms of Teitora fall to the words of a book written long ago. Samara Chrysos has assumed the title of princess of her father's kingdom. Hiding in plain sight to shield herself from those who would see her executed simply for existing. She once longed for adventure, now she simply hopes to survive. To the empire, her sister, Odessa occupies the palace in their father's absence. Only Samara and a few infuriatingly stubborn guards know the truth. Odessa is gone, scouring the farthest reaches of the kingdom for a way to survive the looming prophecy that would usher in the end of everything she holds dear. In her role, as the feared princess chosen by the Shadow Crown, stands Samara-a girl raised in isolation, unprepared and out of place. She knows little of the kingdom she was born into and even less of the storm that is fast approaching. And it is coming. Fire and ash. Flesh and blood. The empire will suffer the prophecies written long ago. Two sisters, destined to clash in battle. A forbidden guard, bound by oaths and secrets. And lies so dangerous, they could kill them all before the prophecy even has its chance. Join Samara and Odessa once again as they fight the prophecy, their enemies, and each other.

Before the dawn of a new age can begin, the old one must die. An empire will crumble. And a champion will lose. It's the same every millennia when the cycle of prophecy begins anew. One by one, the kingdoms of Teitora fall to the words of a book written long ago. On the run, Samara and the Chosen seek refuge in a city that now sees them as traitors. As they regroup, deciding how to face the fallout from their actions, Odessa returns with a broken Keeper and a warning: the dragons have awakened-but that's not the only danger. Pandora, the long-lost Moirai sibling, has arrived, ready to claim her own place in the prophecy's deadly game. She brings with her a chaotic past, a volatile mind, and an unbreakable bond to the dragons, creatures whose loyalty could shift the tides of war. Now, the prophecy looms closer than ever, forcing each sister to confront a harsh truth: only one of them can claim the dragons' allegiance, and each must fight to ensure her own survival. But the stakes are high, and the cost is steep. Samara, in love with a man bound by duty, and Odessa, slipping further into the darkness of the Shadow Crown, are forced to face their final reckoning. Sisterhood will no longer save them. As the prophecy unfolds, their paths are clear: to survive, they must become enemies. The true battle has just begun, and whoever claims the dragons will shape the fate of the kingdom-but at what cost to their own souls?
