The Second Ruler: Part One (The Stars and Green Magics, #6)
Description
A BATTLE FOR POWER. A FIGHT FOR THE HEART. Dressa wanted to protect her wife from her monstrous past, but that past came back to haunt them both.
Imorie wanted to save the man they love, and now they're on their way into the heart of the enemy.
Iata wanted everything, but it was never his to have.
And Rhys wanted to matter, to mean something to their kingdom, but not in this way. Adeius, not in this way.
Enemies are stepping from the shadows, and the kingdom is poised on the edge. Can the Truthspoken be the change to see them all through? The Second Ruler: Part One was originally published in serial form and collects episodes 197-212 of The Stars and Green Magics series.
NOTE: I was halfway through writing The Second Ruler when I realized it was going to be around 1000 pages or more. That's a lot of story! So to get you the story sooner, I'm breaking this story arc into three books: The Second Ruler: Part One, The Second Ruler: Part Two, and The Second Ruler: Part Three. Each book is novel-length on its own, but is a part of the greater story arc.
