From the Shrouded Heights
(2023)(The third book in the War of Whispers series)
A novel by Lily Anne Crow
Now scattered to the four winds, the unknown heroes of Tourenne must once again prove their mettle.
Three years have passed since Osmund Benwickery and his allies fought against the mysterious Xai’zjin and won ... in a manner of speaking. While the young prince of Tourenne grows and learns to emulate his human caregivers, Tamrion Kinto works with Osmund to keep the kingdom safe from threats, both inside and out. But merchant ships are vanishing off the northern coast, and Tamrion must risk a journey to discover the cause, putting his life, and the stability of Tourenne, in jeopardy.
Meanwhile, seasoned crystal mage Margola Verteau is invited south to Marsesa, and former thief Pight tags along, hoping for a glorious adventure in foreign lands. The young spy quickly discovers that the deadly creatures of the southern ocean are less treacherous than Marsesan politics. Pight will need all his wits to help Margola navigate these unfamiliar waters of power and ambition.
In the shadow of the volcano, Phrai trains both body and mind under the tutelage of the mysterious Ghol'Ver. In uncovering the secrets of her past, she finds every step leading her further from what she knows and deeper into darkness. The truth she seeks and the journey it requires may prove burdens too heavy to bear.
On the wind-swept plains of Ursur, Shinowyn Alva cares for what's left of her family. Terrifying visions that foretell a violent clash among the clans of her people plague her waking mind. Desperate to change the course of this seemingly inevitable fate, Shinowyn chooses a path that may take her into conflict with everyone she loves.
A cloud of impending disaster creeps across Erlahain, like the whisper of demons, carrying promises of war and devastation.
Can these scattered heroes stand against the coming tempest, or will they usher in the very doom they seek to ward off?
