The thrilling conclusion of the award-winning epic fantasy trilogy, The Watchers of Moniah!
"A tale of intrigue and romance, set in a unique and skillfully rendered world, "The Watchers of Moniah" will keep readers riveted from first page to last. Highly recommended!" - David B. Coe/D.B. Jackson, author of the Thieftaker Chronicles
No throne, no crown!
Adana and Kiffen have retreated to the Border Keep like the refugees who swarm to them. With Maligon ensconced in Moniah and Kiffen's stepmother controlling Elwar, the last of the Four Kingdoms has fallen to the traitor's plots. All seems lost.
Now they must place their trust in the one-time tavern wench, Shana, as she struggles to convince the Watchers and Monians that she is their true queen. Is her destiny an honorable one, with fealty to Adana, the woman who gave her a taste of true freedom? Or treachery, as the wealthy queen of all Moniah?
While Adana and Kiffen struggle to hold on to the small island keep on the border between Elwar and Moniah, Princess Leera flees her mother's rule and embarks on a journey to bring an army to her brother. Crossing the kingdoms isn't safe, and this once-privileged princess has a lot to learn if she's going to evade her mother's soldiers and make it to Kiffen in one piece.
With so much working against them and the traitor's supporters hiding in plain view, Adana and Kiffen struggle to succeed while learning how to rule together. Can they truly unite their two kingdoms or will they forfeit and disappear forever?
"Character-driven fantasy that feels fresh again! Strong writing and believable characters won my heart, but the fact that this book takes us far from the familiar pseudo-Celtic medieval land is what makes it a remarkable achievement. Evers is a welcome addition to the highest ranks of fantasists." -John Adcox, author of Blackthorne Faire, Christmas Past and The Star in the East
Barbara V. Evers is the author of THE WATCHERS OF MONIAH epic fantasy trilogy as well as several short stories and essays. From the mysterious Dark Corner of South Carolina, she crafts fantasy stories with strong women matriarchies and unusually gifted and clever animals. A two-time Imadjinn Best Fantasy Novelist, she's won several awards for her writing over the years including a Pushcart Prize nomination. Barbara is a supporter and advocate for animal conservation and seeks to educate others about endangered species. The giraffes in THE WATCHERS OF MONIAH are no longer endangered, but giraffes in our world are suffering a silent extinction. As an advocate, Barbara contributes a portion of her royalties to support the work of The Giraffe Conservation Foundation. When she's not writing, Barbara uses her degrees in Zoology and Communication to conduct training workshops for businesses. Maybe she really can speak to animals! Any other time, she can be found herding her husband, two grandchildren, and her rescue dog, Roxy (but don't tell them).
