The Word of a Kinslayer (The Reverian Cycle)

Our First Exile was from sea,
The Second from our land,
But the Third and Final Exile,
Marks Reveria’s end.

The threat of the Third and Final Exile is the shadow haunting every generation, the fear that they may be the last.
All dread it. None agree on how to prevent it.
Their division could be the catalyst for the end.

In the mountains of Xarathium, Prince Odovacar is a fugitive, framed for his father’s murder and hunted by the cousin who seized his throne. In the conquered Queendom of Troloverie, Princess Genovefa is the lone survivor of the revolution that slaughtered her family, though many believe her survival was no accident. And far beyond the mountains, in a desert land facing famine, a merchant’s deceit may decide the fate of a people long forgotten.

Their lives are separate.

The consequences of their choices are not.

As an ancient prophecy begins to unspool, ambition, vengeance, and conflicting loyalties draw them towards a reckoning that will test the limits of blood, honour, and survival. For when kinslayers sit on thrones, the end is not merely coming.

It has already begun.

Told through multiple perspectives, The Word of a Kinslayer is a character-driven epic fantasy, inspired by Nordic folklore, where political intrigue, ancient prophecy, and moral ambiguity collide. This is the debut novel of E. J. Jansson-Bush and the first book in The Reverian Cycle.
