Of Empires and Dust (The Bound and The Broken Book 4)

Of Empires and Dust follows multiple characters across a fractured world. In the Aravell woodland, Calen Bryer, a Draleid and guardian, confronts the aftermath of the Battle of Aravell while his sister Ella remains fragmented, her mind split between worlds. Hundreds of miles away in western Illyanara, Dahlen Virandr defends Salme against relentless Urak forces. Beneath the mountains of Lodhar, Queen Kira waits while Hoffnar moves to seize control of the Freehold and lead the dwarves toward war. In Valtara, Dayne Ateres hunts those who betrayed his family as Alina prepares to besiege Achyron's Keep. At the edges of the Burnt Lands, Rist Havel is offered a new path that could make him a powerful mage. Eltoar encounters Salara Ithan, a figure from his past he believed dead, following the fall of Ilkya and Jormun. Meanwhile, Kallinvar and the Knights of Achyron battle the Shadow to hold back darkness as the Blood Moon rises. Gods awaken. The world burns. Only ashes and dust remain.
