A REALM OF SHADOWS is book #5 in Morgan Rice’s bestselling epic fantasy series KINGS AND SORCERERS (which begins with RISE OF THE DRAGONS, a free download)! 

In A REALM OF SHADOWS, Kyra finds herself in the midst of a burning capital, attacked by a host of dragons, clinging for life. With her beloved homeland destroyed, The Flames down and the trolls pouring in, Kyra must urgently quest to Marda to retrieve the magic weapon before it is too late—even if it takes her into the very heart of darkness. 

Duncan finds himself trapped, with the others, in the burning capital, and he uses all his wits to find his men, attempt escape, and rally his forces to regroup and attack Pandesia. Across the kingdom, Merk sails with King Tarnis’ daughter through the Bay of Death as they abandon the Tower of Kos and sail for the warrior isle of Knossos. Pursued by Vesuvius and his army of trolls, crossing the world’s most treacherous waters, they know they have little chance to reach the isle, and even less chance of escape. 

Dierdre and Marco survive the tidal wave that destroyed Ur only to find their beloved city under water. With everyone they knew and loved lost and dead, they must pick up the pieces and journey to the one person they know who is left alive: Kyra. Alec, meanwhile sails back for Escalon with the people of The Lost Isles, holding the precious sword that might just change everything. But none expect to encounter a land destroyed, a land that is now teeming with dragons. 

With its strong atmosphere and complex characters, A REALM OF SHADOWS is a sweeping saga of knights and warriors, of kings and lords, of honor and valor, of magic, destiny, monsters and dragons. It is a story of love and broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is fantasy at its finest, inviting us into a world that will live with us forever, one that will appeal to all ages and genders. 

Book #6 in KINGS AND SORCERERS will be published soon. 

“If you thought that there was no reason left for living after the end of the Sorcerer’s Ring series, you were wrong. Morgan Rice has come up with what promises to be another brilliant series, immersing us in a fantasy of trolls and dragons, of valor, honor, courage, magic and faith in your destiny. Morgan has managed again to produce a strong set of characters that make us cheer for them on every page.…Recommended for the permanent library of all readers that love a well-written fantasy.”

Ratings and reviews

First book, 1 or 2 typos. Second book, 3 or 4. Third and fourth, multiple character name switches forcing me to reread entire paragraphs to make sense of it. Book five is full of the same as well as characters who warp across vast distances in less thst s few hours, miraculously defy death time and again, and somehow manage to get out of magical nets... Morgan, get a better editor please, and slow down. An 800 page novel that explains it all in chronological detail would have been more enjoyable than this...

Great book great series. However lacking of an editor makes the book time inconsistent like when Kyle was captured by the trolls in the fourth book by a magical net then a fifth book he's still fighting and the dragons have appeared? Kyra has been going for days and he's been going for hours but that were both there when the dragons appeared. Obviously doesnt fit. Figured it's mistakes but wish they're weren't there. Overall Great storyline great characters great cliffhangers great everything except needs an editor..

Morgan Rice definitely has a way of creating characters that you want to fall in love with. However, each book that I read got more and more expensive and yet there were more and more typos and plot contradictions. If these books continued to be $3 I probably would finish out all of her books or if she invested a little more time proofreading I would spend more money. But as it stands I am just too annoyed with all of the mistakes to be able to enjoy the story anymore.
