The Solstice Heir

Summer has unfurled across the entirety of the Thrice Kingdoms, but the shadow of war looms across the continent.

A world lies beyond the Solstice Court, and for the first time, Kezerah is permitted to explore it. One royal decree grants her every desire, yet claiming it has never terrified her more. Embarking on a high-stakes diplomatic tour, the neutral princess is left to navigate a dangerous new landscape, fighting against her own heart-and the horrifying realization that her kingdom's neutrality has become complicity.

While he sailed away from Elastor a king, Ambrose arrives at Trusol Court off-kilter and without a crown. A guest is expected to stay at his palace by the sea over the summer, but with his family bitterly divided, Ambrose is ensnared in a web of lethal court intrigue. To survive the shifting royal power struggles, he must discern the difference between the path he has forged and ruses masquerading as choices.

Across the map, on a snow-capped mountaintop, Ikaika runs from the past he's left behind. Unwilling to return to Elastor, the crown prince of Alora hurls himself into mastering his magic at the academic temples, only to find that escaping his own conscience is a far more challenging task.

With two royal brothers standing at odds on opposite sides of a fracturing Thrice and Kezerah, all three heirs to search within and see their world isn't set ablaze in this queer-normative political fantasy sequel.

Return to the inclusive high fantasy world of The Thrice Kingdom series in a story of duty, deception, and desire.
