Look Inside: An Heir of Realms


Synopsis: An Heir of Realms

BOOK I OF THE REALM RIDERS SERIES

 

Realm-devouring parasites threaten all existence. The Exchange is desperate to destroy them. But could their radical plans endanger the realms, too?


Soul-sucking parasites are overwhelming the realms.

Rhoswen of Stanburh is of age to train as a Realm Rider—a defender of the realms. Riders and their dragons work together to burn away infiltrating Narxon as they swarm in through tears in a realm’s fabric. But it’s not an easy battle: the mere touch of the smoky, dragon-like adversaries can reduce the lively winged beasts—and their Riders—to ash.


Becoming a Realm Rider is Rhoswen’s dream, but she carries far more responsibility than flying a dragon. Her destiny will pit her against her uncle, Badrick, the king of her realm, who has scorned Rhoswen since before her birth.


Misconceptions about the Narxon are proving as destructive as the parasites themselves.

In the Exchange, the waystation between all realms, new recruit Emmelyn is fighting her own battle to save the realms. Her foe is not only the Narxon but also the insidious G’Ambit, a gambling ring with members more intent on lining their pockets than protecting the realms… or even their own lives. 

Emmelyn must convince the higher-ups in the Exchange that the threat is real, starting with her own boss, an avid gambler who despises her tactics.  


Both novice heroines must win their respective battles before war can be waged on the Narxon.

But are Rhoswen and Emmelyn too far behind to stand a chance? 


In An Heir of Realms, book one of the Realm Riders Series,

Heather Ashle’s tangled web of worlds and the memorable characters who inhabit them will leave you racing to solve the mysteries surrounding imperfect heroes and tormented villains.

But the real question is: which is which? 


Find out for yourself in the first book of this immersive new fantasy series, An Heir of Realms, available August 16, 2022, from B&N in paperback and Amazon in paperback, e-book, and free with Kindle Unlimited!
