A Clash of Three Courts
A Clash of Three Courts is the fourth novel in Chloe C. Peñaranda's An Heir Comes to Rise series. It follows Nik and Tauria, picking up where A Throne from the Ashes left off.
To reclaim her throne, Tauria leaves behind her safety to travel across courts. A marriage alliance with the prickly Prince of Olmstone could grant her the power to fight for her kingdom, or it could inspire a monarch's deadly vengeance and threaten everything she holds dear.
No amount of distance can make Nik forget what he wants. Caught in a torturous conflict of heart against duty, he is at risk of losing both, and the time has come to choose: claim the bond and accept the prophecy that has kept him from her all this time, or set his aching heart, and hers, free once and for all.
Peace is never promised when the shadow of war looms. Tauria's harrowing discoveries foretell a damning fate for all those who bear a crown. To love may be to condemn, but to deny would be a far deadlier curse at the hands of the sinister forces intent on taking them down.
