An Heir Comes to Rise · #4 / 6
A Clash of Three Courts
In the bestselling An Heir Comes to Rise series comes the gripping fourth instalment from C.C. Peñaranda. A trial of the heart, a test of reign, follow Nik and Tauria as their story continues where it left off in A Throne from the Ashes.
In a war of hearts, fates will be sealed. But in a battle of thrones, no bond may be truly unbreakable.
A COURT…
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 inspire a monarch’s deadly vengeance that threatens all she holds dear.
A BOND…
No amount of distance can make Nik forget his desires, but caught in a torturous conflict of heart against duty, he’s at risk of losing both. Now is the time to choose. Claim the bond and accept the prophesy that kept him from her all this time . . . or set his aching heart—and hers—free once and for all.
A DARKNESS…
But peace is never promised when the shadow of war looms, and Tauria’s harrowing discoveries foretell a damning fate of evil to 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.
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.
