A Princess fleeing for her freedom, an ancient wrong rising from the sea, and the most difficult choice of all. To save those who'd rejected him, Adler must face the hardest trial of his life and confront the deepest depths of his heart. Can he save them all? And at what cost?
Seven years have passed since the founding of the Centre and relations with the Four Kingdoms have been testy. Things get worse when Princess Nalea, Corwin's younger sister, flees Leocinia for the Centre seeking sanctuary from an arranged marriage. Diplomatic tensions ensue and Adler is drawn into a fight between Priests, Kings, and siblings.
But then the ringing of the bells changes everything and the world as they know it ends in the space of weeks. Only the Centre is left untouched, surrounded by their now helpless enemies.
What should they do? Take them in? Or leave them to their fate? And what's the price of either choice?
Nothing has ever been what it seems.
An epic tale with deadly reckonings, impossible choices, and entwining hearts, this fantasy tale will enchant all ages. Adler's journey ends in the third and last book of the Speaker Trilogy, The Bells Toll!
