12.99 USD



In a world where having everything comes at the cost of everything you believe, one man must choose between power and principle.

The Name of All Things continues Jenn Lyons' Chorus of Dragons series, an epic saga of magic, prophecy, and betrayal. Kihrin D'Mon, the hero who destroyed the Stone of Shackles and unleashed demons across the empire of Quur, is a wanted man. His attempt to escape brings him into the path of Janel Theranon, a mysterious woman who claims to know him and pleads for his help.

Kihrin soon finds himself pitted against a secret rebellion, a city-destroying dragon, and his old nemesis, the wizard Relos Var, who seeks the Cornerstone known as the Name of All Things - an artifact of unimaginable power. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, Kihrin must navigate a treacherous web of magic, violence, and his own conflicted loyalties.

Lyons weaves a richly imagined tapestry of sword and sorcery, mythical creatures, medieval warfare, and divine machinations that will enthrall devotees of high fantasy. The Name of All Things is the gripping sequel to The Ruin of Kings that will leave readers craving more of this masterful fantasy saga.
