The Dragon and the Dove 3 The City of Fantome

The age of Kings has ended. The age of Saints has risen. Now love, like war, demands its sacrifice.

Sera and Ransom, their love stronger than ever, face a common enemy. But as the self-proclaimed Peoples Saint rallies the realm to his dark cause, their volatile powers pull them apart once more.

Seras blazing Saint-maker gift comes at a terrible cost and threatens to consume her. Ransom, newly sainted and bound to nightmarish shadows, is on the brink of despair. What are they willing to lose? For the kingdom, for their friends, and for each other . . .

The stakes are higher than ever before in the epic finale to The City of Fantome trilogy.
