It all began with the nationally best-selling Rhapsody Trilogy. A fellowship of three had been forged, companions brought together by fate, driven by prophecy: Rhapsody, a Singer of great ability and beauty; Achmed, an assassin with unearthly talents; and Grunthor, a giant of jolly disposition and lethal skill with weapons.
The three overcame great adversity in defeating the F'dor--an ancient evil being intent on destroying the world--their battle culminating in Destiny, a thundering crescendo of tragedy, love and triumph of the human spirit over world-shattering cataclysm.
Now comes Requiem for the Sun.
It has been three years since their devastating battle, and peace has settled across their land. But to the south an empire lies ready to crumble. When Dowager Empress dies, along with her successor, the dark clouds of was loom on the horizon.
And an old nemesis of Rhapsody's--presumed dead for centuries--resurfaces, forcing her to choose between facing his depravity or sacrificing her own life…and that of her unborn child.
