About The Book

After years of separation, Havinger Lilley has finally reunited with his lover, Janan. He now hopes to heal from the experience that changed his life forever: being bonded to the soul of a king dragon and to the man Raka who died to save it. But this bond is consuming him, making his thoughts and feelings not his own.

Compelled by this to return to the frozen north that was once Raka’s home, Lilley and his companions Janan and Meka make the arduous journey toward a confrontation with the power-hungry Kattakans that could result in another devastating war.

In this final chapter of *The Crowns of Ishia *series, the survival of the Ba’Suon people, their dragons, and the land itself rests on the decisions of Lilley, Janan and Meka.

“A stunning accomplishment.” Aurealis on The Mountain Crown

The Mountain Crown is a mystic and atmospheric adventure that explores generational memory, of being lost, regaining trust, and reclaiming the self, set in a rich world of rebellion and resistance. This book will bring readers on a journey that illuminates the meaning of freedom, the virtues and pitfalls of culture and tradition, along with the conflicts they may cause. An action-packed read for fans of Untethered Sky.” —Ai Jiang, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Linghun on The Mountain Crown
