Kingshackle (The Thieves of Magic)

In Book Three of The Thieves of Magic Trilogy… Tessa, Ash, and Calder reunite for the deadliest quest of all. Ash is missing and must be found. Confounding the matter, the Conjurer King Slayert launches an attack against the remaining free cities. When Slayert’s massive army of hulking swordsmen and axe-wielding boarmen marches on Blackgrove, there’s little doubt the city will succumb. Saving the world falls to our three heroes, who reunite to steal the magical artifact that makes Slayert invincible—his own crown, called the Kingshackle. But it’s guarded by a ferocious dragon in addition to the king’s insurmountable magic. To unleash the power within her, Tessa must win the King’s Challenge, the ultimate proof of her intelligence, valor, and heart. But the Challenge tests her in ways she could not have imagined. All three companions face impossible choices in their quest to defeat the vicious tyrant. The failure of any of them will result in lives lost, a doomed mission, and a world plunged into darkness. Full of danger, heart, and magic, Kingshackle is the story of three friends bound by loyalty, their unbreakable courage, and the powerful choices that shape who we become, even when all hope seems lost. Some spells were never meant to be spoken. Read more
