Exalted continues Hest’s journey into married life. The weight of the crown is heavy enough, but Hest has secrets. Being bonded to an arc lukesure is a unique privilege, and one Hest would rather indulge in instead of facing the council. But the more he dives into the laubrach, the more he pushes his wife and everyone else away from him.
Blurb for Exalted
If achieving your dreams consumed your very self, would you pay that price?
Hest’s titles seem to constantly multiply—dragon rider, warrior, husband, king—and he’s working hard to live up to them all, even if each one seems to require more from him than the last. Between suffering beggars, jealous nobles, and a gang of violent thieves plaguing the capital, he can hardly find time to spend with his wife, let alone his dragon. And while he sleeps, one dark dream is repeating–an old enemy, come to destroy everything he loves.
Fearing what feels like a prophecy, Hest tries to protect his new wife, but his attempts only alienate her. He seeks comfort in the bond with his dragon, but even then he must be vigilant against losing himself in it and taking on the draconic form that terrifies his people and steals his mind. Then the unthinkable happens: he and Usheen are shot out of the sky, captured and brought to face powers far beyond his imagining.
Hest will do what it takes to keep his family and his kingdom safe, but at what cost? Will there be anything left of him when it is over?
Exalted is the third book in the coming-of-age fantasy series, Four Stars over Ardatz: Sovereigns. If you like addicting stories, vividly-written tales, and vibrant characters, you’ll love Kandi J Wyatt’s book.
