The Lie That Binds Them

The Lie That Binds Them is the thrilling conclusion to the Soulfire Saga, an epic fantasy series packed with adventure and intrigue, set in a world of ancient myth and dangerous magic.

The Eternity King, Caradan Diar, is dead. But a dread Queen rules in his place and a new age of darkness threatens to overwhelm Khalad.

Tyzanta – greatest of the free cities – has fallen to the Queen’s armies. Worse, the leader of the rebellion, Bashar Vallant, is missing, presumed dead.

What hope remains rests with Katija Arvish and her allies. They alone know the truth behind the secrets that hold Khalad together. They alone can break the realm’s shackles and deliver freedom to its people.

But to do so they must destroy an ancient god of unimaginable power.

In the end, the lie that binds them may be their only salvation.
