A novel by Steven Poore
The sequel to the award-nominated Heir to the North is here, and the story of Malessar's Curse is complete!
"With the publication of The High King's Vengeance, readers who have yet to begin the series have the whole thing available to them now, and can read straight through from the beginning. I envy them the experience." - Teresa Edgerton, author of Goblin Moon and Hobgoblin Night
"I am the Heir to the North."
Malessar's Curse is broken, the wards around Caenthell destroyed. The Warlock himself lies, exhausted and gravely wounded, in the rubble of his own house. And while the dire spirits trapped behind the wards for centuries are unleashed into the world once more, Cassia is confined to a cell deep in Galliarca's grand palace.
Yet Caenthell calls to her, and Cassia must answer. As Heir to the North, the throne and the power behind it belong to her. But the twisted hunger of Caenthell's spirits appalls her. and Cassia vows to do everything she can to defeat them.
Now, Cassia must convince both Galliarca and Hellea that they have to stand against the resurrected High King of Caenthell. She must raise an army from nothing, make uncertain alliances with princes and dragons, and fight her way into the heart of the North. And, if she is lucky, someone may live to tell her tale.
"Fear me."
