Brian A. Mendonça

As torn petals of a rose fall, a hero must rise in a race against destiny.

What starts as a fairy tale rescue spirals into an intricate web of dark fantasy laced with intrigue and magic. After the downtrodden merchant Kaine saves the runaway Princess Lydia from an unexpected monster, he feels inexplicably drawn to her. Lydia’s uncanny knowledge of his deepest secrets looms over him, suggesting she knows more about him than he has revealed.

However, there is little time to investigate this mystery. The princess is betrothed to the magic wielding Throatian Kingdom, and Lydia’s father has rewarded Kaine with a job offer he cannot refuse.

As the rehearsal dinner for Lydia's arranged wedding unfolds, tension simmers amidst foreign customs and whispered conversations. The Throatian Royal family, draped in magic, is keen to forge an alliance with the Darian Kingdom. Meanwhile, Lydia, now fully aware of her royal responsibilities, summons Kaine for a private meeting in the chilling stillness of the graveyard. Her impending wedding signifies more than a pact of sword and sorcery, and something else—dark and twisted—stirs in the shadows.

With time dwindling short, and the ceremony happening the next day, will Kaine unshackle himself from his past to embrace the guardian he is destined to become? Or will the ties binding him to Lydia be torn apart like petals in the wind?

Journey with Kaine and Lydia as they attempt to prevent a war and save a kingdom in the first volume of the Symphony of Crowns and Gods series.

Symphony of Crowns and Gods

Wedding of the Torn Rose

No one serves a god without paying the cost.

When his father disappears on a religious pilgrimage, Prince Thane is chosen to ascend a sacred mountain in a desperate attempt to find him, plunging him into a world of spiritual upheaval, divine conspiracies, and the terrifying prospect of a holy war.

There, he uncovers a harrowing warning: their god's protection from a sorceress hinges on unthinkable blood sacrifices, with Thane himself poised to be a primary offering. Bound by obedience and the terrifying demands of his god and family, Thane embarks on a journey that will challenge the very foundation of his faith and crown.

Racing against time, Thane must navigate the tumultuous world of royal politics and family conflicts to keep his homeland safe. Torn between his love for Cereene, his loyalty to his people, and the moral implications of their religion, Thane stands on the precipice of a decision that could shatter his world forever.

Everything changes when an invincible knight in crimson armor approaches, promising to tip the scales in a way Thane could have never imagined. Layers of deception unravel, and revelations emerge as a conflict extending beyond the realms of their island surfaces. With an eerie understanding of Thane's inner turmoil and an irresistible offer that reveals the true price of devotion, the knight makes it unclear who is really friend or foe. Thane’s world spirals further into chaos as sacrifices become blurred and the signs of the long-anticipated war between gods grow louder.

Swept into the grandeur of royal weddings, hidden magic, and nefarious plots, the line between loyalty and disobedience blurs. The sacrifices demanded of him become unbearable, pushing Thane to question the very core of his beliefs, and bringing him face to face with an all-consuming choice. Will Thane obey the god who has orchestrated his life, or rebel against the gravity of obedience that will change the destiny of his people?

Prince Thane and Princess Lydia may be the only way of stopping the oncoming threat of the sorceress, but their marriage alone won’t solve any of their problems.

Gravity of Obedience is the thrilling sequel to the Wedding of the Torn Rose.
