Book One

Ember and Ash

The Sundering was no accident. It was a crime. And it isn’t finished.

All magic is the borrowed breath of dying dragons — and the gentle grey Choir is gathering the last of it, one blessed town at a time. When the Choir comes to collect her, a marsh-country healer named Ysra runs — into a disgraced knight, a light-fingered thief, and the truth about why the world is dying. The last dragon alive has been waiting a very long time for them to climb his mountain.

The Drowned Library

Some libraries should stay drowned.

To learn what she truly is — and to keep the last dragon in the world from dying — Ysra must go down into Aeloria-that-was, the golden city that drowned the night the world broke. Past a people who would rather mourn the world than save it. Past a half-mad dragon guarding the dark. Toward an answer the enemy wants her to find — because the answer to what Ysra is, is also the recipe for finishing the world.

Book Three

The Sealed Vaults

Some doors were never meant to be opened by the hand that most wishes to.

The way to turn the door the saving way lies sealed in the deep vaults of Karn Dûrhal — behind stone the Durn forbid all living hands to break, and coveted now by a grey host marching north to meet it. The first movement of the Sundering Cycle reaches its end in the oldest dark under the mountains.
