An Heir Comes to Rise · #3 / 6
A Throne From the Ashes
As darkness descends, two destinies will merge. But as embers fly, one may rise from the ashes.
A KINGDOM…
Far from the land she knows, Faythe is beckoned toward the secrets of her heritage. Through trials of her name and a challenge to her claim, does she have what it takes to rule? Faythe bears a future that haunts; Reylan harbors a past that lingers. At his side, what ignited in her heart is kindling, but letting her guard fall could break them…or make them stronger.
A QUEST…
Now faced with a far deadlier evil than the king, a higher calling seems determined to turn the hourglass on Faythe’s quest to save Ungardia. But she soon learns time isn’t the only thing working against her. Darkness is rising, history is stirring, and the hunters are about to become the hunted.
A DESTINY…
For fate cannot be outrun. Faythe’s powers are manifesting beyond her control, and if she can’t save herself, no one can. Defying destiny is not without consequence, yet Faythe may be willing to pay the highest price of all to forge a path to true freedom–for her kingdom, and for the ones she loves.
The series
In a world where the weight of legacy crushes even the strongest hearts, a young woman must rise not just for herself, but for an empire on the brink of collapse.
Read full series description
An Heir Comes to Rise transports readers into a realm where magic and treachery intertwine, and the fight for power is as much about the heart as it is about the throne. At its core, the series explores the transformative journey of a young, reluctant heir, Faythe, whose hidden lineage and untapped power have the potential to reshape the fate of kingdoms.
The world Peñaranda creates is one of palpable tension, where each court has its own set of rules, and alliances are forged with the sharp edge of a blade. In this world, everyone has something to prove, and trust is a rare currency. The intricate world-building draws inspiration from both myth and history, with courts that are as deadly as they are beautiful, and an undercurrent of magic that feels both ancient and dangerously alive.
What sets An Heir Comes to Rise apart isn’t just its epic scope—it’s the way it pulls readers into its emotional currents. Faythe is not a hero by choice, but by necessity, and her journey is one of self-discovery, sacrifice, and the painful process of accepting her own power. With each turn, the stakes grow higher, and the line between right and wrong becomes ever more blurred.
For those who love rich, atmospheric fantasies with complex characters, courtly intrigue, and a touch of romance that feels both inevitable and tragic, this series offers a refreshing and captivating experience. It’s a world where trust is earned, love is hard-won, and every victory comes at a cost. If you’re looking for a series that will make you question fate, loyalty, and the price of power, An Heir Comes to Rise promises to be a journey you won’t forget.
