Emelin has escaped the Crimson Court and rescued Creon from the Mother's chains. But freedom comes at a price. Thrust into a world of old feuds and thorny grudges, her new allies may prove as treacherous as any enemy. To keep the Silent Death safe from friends-turned-foes, she'll need every ounce of cunning she possesses.

Haunted by shadows of his past and a magic he never wished for, Creon is losing control. The answers he seeks lie beyond the buried halls of the Alliance's stronghold—back within reach of the Mother and her relentless armies hunting him.

As war looms over the archipelago, Emelin can no longer hide from the coming storm. When her quest to save Creon reveals glimpses of her own mysterious origins, she's faced with an impossible choice: embrace her destiny on the battlefield or lose the male she loves forever.

Lord of Gold and Glory weaves a tale of love, magic, and sacrifice. Will Emelin and Creon overcome the shadows that threaten to consume them, or will they be torn apart by forces beyond their control?
