Lightbringer

February 28, 2020 by

Lightbringer

Release Date: October 13, 2020

Now out in paperback! In this incredible conclusion to the trilogy that started with the instant New York Times bestsellers Furyborn and Kingsbane, two queens, separated by a thousand years, must face their ultimate destinies.

Queen Rielle, pushed away from everything she loves, turns to Corien and his promises of glory. Meanwhile, whispers from the empirium slowly drive her mad, urging her to open the Gate. Separated from Audric and Ludivine, she embraces the role of Blood Queen and her place by Corien’s side, determined to become the monster the world believes her to be.

In the future, Eliana arrives in the Empire’s capital as a broken shell of herself. Betrayed and abandoned, she fights to keep her power at bay―and away from Corien, who will stop at nothing to travel back in time to Rielle, even if that means destroying her daughter.

But when the mysterious Prophet reveals themselves at last, everything changes, giving Rielle and Eliana a second chance for salvation―or the destruction their world has been dreading.

Make sure to start with book 1, Furyborn, and book 2, Kingsbane.

Booklist

My goodness, the devastation that this book will wreak upon readers is intense. The Empirium trilogy has been such a marvellous work of fiction and I’ve followed the story of Rielle and Eliana from the moment I laid eyes on Furyborn. The worldbuilding in this trilogy is stunning, and the character development too.

Legrand brings her trilogy to a triumphant but bittersweet ending, effortlessly weaving together complicated plot strands and giving further nuance to already complex characters…

The explosive finale…doesn’t disappoint; it’s every bit as gut-wrenching as its predecessors and even more cathartic.
