Shards of Deceit - A Coming of Age Epic Fantasy
註釋

Gods, war and prophecy cast their shadow across the land...


In the thrilling fifth installment of the epic fantasy series Rise of the Summer God, the fate of Cendoria hangs in the balance as King Illast, facing the fiery flames of rebellion, forges precarious alliances that blur the lines between friend and foe. With the kingdom fractured, allegiance strained, and war filling the horizon, Illast must navigate the treacherous waters of politics and power to reunite his realm.


More concerned with the battle in the heavens above Cendoria than between the dukedoms below, Aldera and Felwin strive to locate the elusive young man destined to name the Summer God—a pivotal choice that will shape the destiny of Cendoria for all eternity. Amidst the chaos, the story delves deeper into a world where loyalties are tested, alliances are shattered, and the thin line between heroism and villainy blurs.
