Empire of Dreams

The electrifying conclusion to #1 New York Times-bestselling author Melissa de la Cruz's Kingdom of Waves duology, following two thieves-turned-heroes in an epic quest to save their people and restore their kingdom.

Lacon may yet stand, but not all hope is lost.

Desperate to free Eban from Rollo's clutches, Gin hones her magic to plan a daring rescue and free him from imprisonment. Meanwhile, Eban fights to survive—and hold fast to his resolve—as he suffers Rollo’s torments in House Eternal.

But even after a dangerous escape, their plight is far from over. Gin and Eban must turn their attention to saving Ophir, once and for all. As Gin struggles to find common ground with her bonded god, who turns out to be more bloodthirsty than she could have ever imagined, Eban finds a new path calling to him. A path of creation and hope, rather than destruction.

Can they finally achieve peace, and seize control of their own fates? Or will the meddling of the gods forge a harrowing new world of death and vengeance . . .
