A Chorus of Dragons #2
by Jenn Lyons
You can have everything you want if you sacrifice everything you believe.
Kihrin D'Mon is a wanted man. Since he destroyed the Stone of Shackles and set demons free across Quur, he has been on the run from the wrath of an entire empire. His attempt to escape brings him into the path of Janel Theranon, a mysterious Joratese woman who claims to know Kihrin.
Janel's plea for help pits Kihrin against all manner of dangers: a secret rebellion, a dragon capable of destroying an entire city, and Kihrin's old enemy, the wizard Relos Var.
Janel believes that Relos Var possesses one of the most powerful artifacts in the world―the Cornerstone called the Name of All Things. And if Janel is right, then there may be nothing in the world that can stop Relos Var from getting what he wants.
And what he wants is Kihrin D'Mon.
Jenn Lyons continues the Chorus of Dragons series with The Name of All Things, the epic sequel to The Ruin of Kings.
"Lyons proves she is worthy of comparison to other masters of epic fantasy." - Booklist (starred review)
"Simply put: This is top-notch adventure fantasy written for a 21st-century audience—highly recommended." - Kirkus Reviews
"Though the complexity of plot and worldbuilding are still present, this second installment tackles smaller problems with far lower stakes, and the climax is less gratifying and coherent. Readers who enjoyed the sweeping epic feel of the first book will find this one disappointing." - Publishers Weekly
"Lyons is creating a complex and wonderful series that will immerse and delight." - Library Journal
