About this ebook

A CRY OF HONOR is Book #4 in the Bestselling series THE SORCERER'S RING, which begins with A QUEST OF HEROES (BOOK #1)--which is available as a FREE download on Google Play! 

In A CRY OF HONOR (Book #4 in the Sorcerer's Ring), Thor has returned from The Hundred as a hardened warrior, and now he must learn what it means to battle for his homeland, to battle for life and death. The McClouds have raided deep into MacGil territory—deeper than ever before in the history of the Ring—and as Thor rides into an ambush, it will fall on his head to fend off the attack and save King’s Court.

Godfrey has been poisoned by his brother by a very rare and potent poison, and his fate lies in Gwendolyn’s hands, as she does whatever she can to save her brother from death.

Gareth has fallen deeper into a state of paranoia and discontent, hiring his own tribe of savages as a personal fighting force and giving them Silver Hall—ousting The Silver and causing a rift in King’s Court that threatens to blow up into a civil war. He also schemes to have the fierce Nevaruns take Gwendolyn away, selling her off in marriage without her consent.

Thor’s friendships deepen, as they journey to new places, face unexpected monsters and fight side by side in unimaginable battle. Thor journeys to his hometown and, in an epic confrontation with his father, he learns a great secret of his past, of who he is, who his mother is—and of his destiny. With the most advanced training he’s ever received from Argon, he begins to tap powers he didn’t know he had, becoming more powerful each day. As his relationship with Gwen deepens, he returns to King’s Court in the hopes of proposing to her—but it may already be too late.

Andronicus, armed with an informer, leads his million-man Empire army to once again attempt to breach the Canyon and crush the Ring.

And just as things seem like they can’t get any worse at King’s Court, the story ends with a shocking twist.

Will Godfrey survive? Will Gareth be ousted? Will King’s Court split in two? Will the Empire invade? Will Gwendolyn end up with Thor? And will Thor finally learn the secret of his destiny?

With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, A CRY OF HONOR is an epic tale of friends and lovers, of rivals and suitors, of knights and dragons, of intrigues and political machinations, of coming of age, of broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is a tale of honor and courage, of fate and destiny, of sorcery. It is a fantasy that brings us into a world we will never forget, and which will appeal to all ages and genders. At 85,000 words, it is the longest of all the books in the series!

All 17 books in THE SORCERER'S RING are now also available!

Ratings and reviews

I hate reading stories that don't resolve issues created in the book. There should be one major storyline that carries through the series, but each book should leave the reader WANTING more, unlike this which leaves one hanging each time. There is absolutely no resolution, only repetition. I will read the fifth when it comes out, and hopefully it will actually finish this story, but I will never bother with any of her other series.

I read the first three books nonstop and book 4 is no exception. The story is getting more interesting and Thor is getting close to his destiny while being kept in suspense for what will happen next. Like previous books we continue to follow the story of several characters as destiny works its way to bring their journeys together. I can't wait to read book 5 and see what happens next.

Morgan Rice is simply a bad author. The story is an interesting concept, but the execution, especially the plot and character development, is what you would expect from a junior high school introduction to writing class. It's like someone gave her a laundry list of "traits of bad writers", and she's ticking them off as she goes. Dialogue is wooden and insincere, fight scenes are ludicrous, and it was hard to care about any character for any length of time. Please stop encouraging her!
