The #1 Bestselling series! RISE OF THE VALIANT is book #2 in Morgan Rice’s bestselling epic fantasy series KINGS AND SORCERERS (which begins with RISE OF THE DRAGONS, a free download)! In the wake of the dragon’s attack, Kyra is sent on an urgent quest: to cross Escalon and seek out her uncle in the mysterious Tower of Ur. The time has come for her to learn about who she is, who her mother is, … to learn about who she is, who her mother is, and to train and develop her special powers. It will be a quest fraught with peril for a girl alone, Escalon filled with dangers from savage beasts and men alike—one that will require all of her strength to survive.
Her father, Duncan, must lead his men south, to the great water city of Esephus, to attempt to free his fellow countrymen from the iron grip of Pandesia. If he succeeds, he will have to journey to the treacherous Lake of Ire and then onto the icy peaks of Kos, where there live the toughest warriors of Escalon, men he will need to recruit if he has any chance of taking the capital.
Alec escapes with Marco from The Flames to find himself on the run through the Wood of Thorns, chased by exotic beasts. It is a harrowing journey through the night as he quests for his hometown, hoping to be reunited with his family. When he arrives, he is shocked by what he discovers.
Merk, despite his better judgment, turns back to help the girl, and finds himself, for the first time in his life, entangled in a stranger’s affairs. He will not forego his pilgrimage to the Tower of Ur, though, and he finds himself anguished as he realizes the tower is not what he expects.
Vesuvius spurs his giant as he leads the Trolls on their mission underground, attempting to bypass The Flames, while the dragon, Theos, has his own special mission on Escalon.
With its strong atmosphere and complex characters, RISE OF THE VALIANT is a sweeping saga of knights and warriors, of kings and lords, of honor and valor, of magic, destiny, monsters and dragons. It is a story of love and broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is fantasy at its finest, inviting us into a world that will live with us forever, one that will appeal to all ages and genders.

I love the way this author writes!
Loved it
Brilliant and powerful fantasy adventure story. Read anything she writes.
Morgan Rice take us on a journey with the characters she introduced in the first book, Rise of the Dragons. Duncan is fighting 10 to 1 odds and raising an army to push the oppressive Pandesia out of Escalon. Kyra fights along her journey to reach her uncle at the tower of Ur while Merk, the assassin, reaches the tower and manages to answer the riddle to enter. Meanwhile, the trolls are digging under the wall of flame and Theo, the dragon, flies high above in his search.
Each reaches the gate of their goal, what next? I’m certain of one thing. Morgan Rice will entertain us with the exploits of all those she has introduced to us and we will like it.
This is an epic fantasy series of books. You can’t just read one – you’ll find you can’t quit until you get to the end of the last book. The world is well developed and believable. The characters are well defined. You will find yourself gasping with them as they go from one difficult encounter to the next!
I love this book and series so far its amazing!
A continuing action packed..story..left me wantimg more an more
Great book. Stayed up to read.
too many errors in the story line with these books. I wish good reads would stop sending me emails about them. This author doesn’t interest me because her story line falls apart.
I love the story but the are times the writer loses her train of thought and you’re left wondering what happened. She also needs a better editor. Difficult at times because of misspelling and convoluted ideas
Morgan Rice creates exciting characters and interesting challenges and solutions. Her action is believable and not solved simply. This was entertaining.
I enjoy this author and have read 20 of his books now. It would be good if he had a better proofreader though.
Good read
Great characters with many adventures for each. Well written and very enjoyable to read.
Boring
Didn’t get any real meat on the story
No beginning no endings just one long prelude to the next installment
Includes historical fiction, asked on actual locations. Thoroughly enjoyed and was very engaged in the characters.
I love her books! I know the editing is poor, but I’m willing to overlook that because I get caught up in the stories.
Great book. I’m going to finish the rest of the series soon.
