Synopsis

Gods, demons, and even more dragons . . . Jenn Lyons' powerful epic fantasy continues in The Memory of Souls.

The longer he lives, the more dangerous he becomes . . .

The city of Atrine lies in ruins. And now Relos Var has revealed his plan to free the monstrous god, Vol Karoth, the end of the world is closer than ever.

To buy time for humanity, Kihrin and his friends need to convince a king to perform an ancient ritual. The power released would imprison the god for an age to come. But this may come at too high a price for the King of the Vane, as the ritual would strip his people of their immortality. As a result, some will do anything to prevent this ritual – including assassinating those championing this solution.

Worse, Kihrin must come to terms with a horrifying possibility. It seems his connection to Vol Karoth is growing in strength . . . but what does it mean? And how can Kihrin hope to save his world, when he might be the greatest threat of all?

The Memory of Souls is the third book in the thrilling series, A Chorus of Dragons, which begins with The Ruin of Kings. Continue the action with The House of Always.

'What an extraordinary book . . . everything epic fantasy should be: rich, cruel, gorgeous, brilliant, enthralling and deeply deeply satisfying. I loved it' – Lev Grossman on The Ruin of Kings

'Delightful and entertaining . . . it’s a fast, pacey read' - Locus Magazine

‘Lyons raises stakes to a fever pitch' - Publishers Weekly

From the Back Cover

THE LONGER HE LIVES
THE MORE DANGEROUS HE BECOMES

Relos Var’s dark plans have been revealed and, as shadows spread over Quur, the end of the world seems terrifyingly close at hand. To avoid annihilation, Kihrin and his companions will need extraordinary amounts of power – which only an ancient ritual can supply. And they must convince the king of the vané to perform it. However, the ritual is designed to strip the vané of their immortality, and some will do anything to prevent this. Including assassinating those championing the solution.

Kihrin must also come to terms with a horrifying fact. His connection to Vol Karoth, king of the demons, is growing in strength. And how can Kihrin hope to save his world, when he might become the greatest threat of all?
