The Lioness of Rakov, Part II

In the scorched wastelands of the Blackened Lands, Seal Warden Alandra faces the impossible: a towering fire drake blocking the only path to peace. If the beast kills them, Shara Krakovia’s dream of ending the war between the Great Houses and the Eastern tribes dies with it. But Alandra has already lost too much to surrender. Once broken by the kidnapping of her daughter, Agnieshka, Alandra now fights with the cursed power of Sonomancy—an ancient magic born from the Old Gods that grants terrible power at the cost of memory, sanity, and the soul itself. To unleash that power against the drake, she must relive the worst moment of her life: the day masked riders stole her child away forever. As warriors steel themselves for a hopeless battle, Alandra stands between the monster and the woman she loves. Shara believes peace can reshape the empire. Alandra believes survival comes first. Yet beneath the blood, politics, and impossible choices burns a fierce devotion neither war nor fate has managed to destroy. To save Shara and protect the fragile future they are trying to build, Alandra must embrace the very power that is slowly erasing who she once was. And every time she reaches into the abyss of Sonomancy, something reaches back. The Lioness of Rakov is a grimdark fantasy filled with brutal magic, savage politics, monstrous gods, and a love fierce enough to defy extinction.
