The Crystal Heir (The Realm Reachers, #2)

A Crimson sun rises with the dawn.
Thwarted by her rivals in the Crimson Court, Kasia Niezik finds herself at sea as she struggles to control her strange new Reaching. Armies march in the east as foes and friends alike seek to take advantage of the chaos. And at home, old scars fester in her absence.
The capital she left behind is in ruins. Spirits haunt those who refuse to kneel before the Crimson King, and lowborn like Nex survive among the ashes while Princess Nikoza and her fellow scions tread on shattered political grounds. One misstep, and they're sure to find death is hardly the worst punishment one can endure.
Beyond Kalastok's streets, spurred scions and lowborn gather under the banner of legendary general Tiuz Hazeko. A mysterious benefactor has granted him a weapon that could be the key to stopping the Crimsons' spirits, but to succeed, he will need the aid of allies new and old. Guns and powder can only go so far.
In this war, they need crystal and glass.
Launch into the aftermath of The Crimson Court's shocking end as the Commonwealth teeters on the edge. Every faction on Zekiaz wants a piece of the spoils, but neither magic nor war come without a heavy cost.
This eBook of The Crystal Heir includes the deluxe edition's seven interior illustrations, twelve maps, and in full color.

Brendan Noble is a Polish and German-American author currently writing fantasy inspired by Slavic mythology: The Frostmarked Chronicles. Through these books and his "Slavic Saturday" post series on YouTube and his website, he hopes to bring the often-forgotten stories of eastern Europe into new light.
Shortly after beginning his writing career in 2019 with the publication of his debut novel, The Fractured Prism (Book 1 of The Prism Files), Brendan married his wife Andrea and moved to Rockford, Illinois from his hometown in Michigan. Since then, he has published two series: The Prism Files and The Frostmarked Chronicles.
Outside of writing, Brendan is a data analyst, soccer referee, and the president of Rockford FC (Rockford's semi-pro soccer club). His top interests include German, Polish, and American soccer/football, Formula 1, analyzing political elections across the world, playing extremely nerdy strategy video games, exploring with his wife, and reading.
