Skyborn
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
Find the Horn. Free the City.
The chase continues for the legendary Horns of Osius. Thianna and Karn’s quest to retrieve the horns from those who wish to abuse their power takes them to Thica, an ancient land where two tyrant queens reign supreme and where years earlier Thianna’s mother was labeled a traitor. Soon the two heroes are caught up in an epic battle for control of the kingdom, one that puts their very lives at stake. The only way to overthrow the queens is to beat them at their own game. But with an entire empire against them, how can Karn and Thianna hope to compete—or better yet, survive?
The novel includes instructions for playing the board game the Queen’s Champion, a Thican timeline, and King Herakles Hammerfist’s recipe for the Best Spanakopita Ever. Visit ThronesandBones.com for additional games, maps, character profiles, and more!

Friends are the family you choose, and family is the enemy you combat in an oppressive empire ripe for rebellion.In this third entry in the Thrones & Bones series, Thianna the half-giantess and Karn the average-sized human are en route to recover the Horn of Osius (once stolen by Thianna's mother when she escaped Caldera, stolen back by the Calderans in Book 2). Desstra the dark elf makes the duo a pale-skinned trio, even if Thianna doesn't quite trust her yet. However, six hands won't suffice when dueling a dual monarchy--and an ornery, olive-skinned young soldier named Sirena--for the horn before it can be used to enslave a new generation of wyvern hatchlings and prolong the Calderans' tyrannical rule. As the trio strategizes a victory, Thianna tries to relish seeing her mother's homeland for the first time, not knowing that her bloodlines extend even further. More exquisite creatures are added to the roster (a very vocal minotaur, a royal wood nymph, fleets of arachne), amplifying the fantasy fanfare. Multiple points of view (Thianna, Karn, Desstra, Sirena, and more) continue to offer varied perspectives and perpetuate an unfurling momentum. It is essential to have read the two predecessors to comprehend character dynamics and appreciate the ever-so-slightly didactic lesson to treasure friendships evolving in the unlikeliest of contemporaries. A throneworthy consort in a series forged in fantasy. (maps, glossary) (Fantasy. 10-14)COPYRIGHT(2016) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
