THE PROPHECY UNRAVELS IN THE SEQUEL TO C. HIGGINS' GLOBALLY BESTSELLING EPIC FANTASY NOVEL "First Crown: Tears of Fire delivers everything that Malice of Snow brought to the table, to a new level, and is perhaps better than it’s predecessor. The author turns a plot that could easily be considered over-used or common, and turns it into something that only he could imagine. The detail is extraordinary and the kingdom of Askaria becomes more full and lore-abundant with every book." - Zander Kelly, Writer's Times In a land ravaged by virulent disease and merciless cold, where blood has stained the snow red and a great curse, the Malice of Snow has come to pass - amidst the aftermath, the frost melting, a new nightmare threatens Askaria... A foreign king makes his way to the First Crown and an ancient cult carves their way to the last descendants of a forgotten clan, intending to avenge a broken promise and resurrect the first dragon, son of a deity, Alyrias. Borgian Steel seems to be Askaria's only hope once again and must unravel the intentions of the cult and the darkness behind the new king, meanwhile an unlikely alliance is formed between Mazdol and the clans of the west and north to defeat the oncoming disaster of the Missionaries. Askaria has been forced into darkness once again and total war seems likely, as Zensi's prophecy progresses to bear only truths... The Tears of Fire shall rain. Death is assured.
