The City of Grief and Pain (Mothers of Sorrow #3)

There is no victory without sacrifice.

The Mother’s plan has failed. Her army of greylings has been destroyed. But the liberation of Keselgraad has come at a terrible Brachyura and Matellas Thane have been swallowed by a swirling portal, transported into the never-ending expanse of emptiness that exists between worlds.

Aldin Pine, however, refuses to give up hope. With the help of the horribly mutated Sister Nayelle, ten gifted orphans, and his own burgeoning powers, Pine vows to find his lost brother and return him home.

Their search will take them far beyond the city of Keselgraad to a land where zealous Lords, ambitious corsairs, and aged Kings fight petty, bitter wars that bring nothing but grief and pain.

While far below the blood-soaked battlegrounds lies an even greater threat. Watching. Waiting. Preparing.

Deep within the earth, something is stirring.
