A Labyrinth of Scions and Sorcery

The high fantasy series continues as an ambassador and her guardian grapple with political intrigue and a disturbing serial killer.

“A Labyrinth of Scions and Sorcery [is] just as good as its predecessor—if not better. . . . A blisteringly tense read. . . . The worldbuilding, too, continues to satisfy. . . . I enjoyed it tremendously. If you enjoy fantasy with plenty of intrigue, then this series is definitely worth a look.” —Reactor

Isabelle des Zephyrs has always been underestimated throughout her life, but after discovering the well of hidden magic within her, unveiling a centuries-long conspiracy, and stopping a war between rival nations, she has gained a newfound respect amongst the cutthroat court.

All that is quickly taken away when Isabelle is unfairly convicted of breaking the treaty she helped write and has her political rank and status taken away. Now bereft, she nevertheless finds herself drawn into mystery when her faithful musketeer Jean-Claude uncovers a series of gruesome murders by someone calling themselves the Harvest King.

As panic swells, the capital descends into chaos, when the emperor is usurped from the throne by a rival noble. Betrayed by their allies and hunted by assassins, Isabelle and Jean-Claude alone must thwart the coup, but not before it changes l’Empire forever.

“Readers who already enjoyed the Romanticism-inspired worldbuilding of the first in Craddock's Risen Kingdoms trilogy will be pleased to discover even more nuances here. The types of magic are especially fleshed out and, with them, competing political factions. A fun, complicated tale, filled with adventure and intrigue.” ―Booklist
