The Vitruvian Heir, Book III: The Reckoning (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780990884460)

Sixteen years have passed since Lore Fetherston took the helm as empress of Vitruvia, and an era of peace has ushered itself in. But how long will it last?

A new generation has come into their own, led by her fiery daughter, Lena, who dreams of toppling the Orsian regime once and for all. But Lena has her own weakness; namely, a foreign prince she's not even supposed to know - the son of her sworn enemy.

When an unforeseen abduction tears apart their fragile existence, Lore's world once again transforms into a battleground as she's forced to protect what she loves even more than her country: her child.

In the meantime, Constance and Lucy make a discovery in Ruby Novum, Vitruvia's western settlement, that may be just what Lore needs to save Lena - and the world - from certain domination. Little does she know that her loyal inner circle and a mysterious group of fearsome strangers are boldly planning their own rescue mission.

From the depths of subterranean societies and the breathtaking heights of an icy summit to unexpected allies and earth-shattering revelations, experience the epic conclusion that brings this trilogy - and Lore's story - to an unforgettable close.
