CROWNS AND SPIRITS: Promised Land, Book I - Tome II baixar epub

The dead have been silenced. The prisons are beginning to answer.

Autumnsberg survived—but victory has exposed something far worse beneath the world.

In the aftermath of the Revenant Lord’s defeat, Bernhart Wolvenhart and the Jashashim discover that Omega’s severance did not create the darkness spreading through the Allstream. It revealed it. A hidden fracture has opened along the ancient boundaries of Naraka, one of the Seven Hells: planetary prisons built to contain beings, spirits, and powers too dangerous to walk freely among the living.

And someone inside has stopped answering.

With Autumnsberg still recovering, Bernhart refuses to lead another grand campaign. Instead, he enters the unknown with a small company of witnesses, warriors, healers, and friends determined to discover what happened to Naraka’s missing Spiritwarden before fear becomes an excuse for invasion.

The road takes Bernhart back toward Winterark—the kingdom that exiled him.

Returning home means facing more than royal politics. Old accusations remain unresolved. Family secrets continue to surface. The truth surrounding his mother and father refuses to stay buried. And Omega, the Flaming Sword of Eden, carries memories and powers that Bernhart can wield without yet fully understanding.

But the greatest danger may be what everyone expects him to become.

As the bearer of Omega, Bernhart is increasingly treated as leader, weapon, judge, savior, and heir to histories he never chose. He must learn the difference between having the power to intervene and possessing the right to decide for someone else.

Beside him, Mellisandra Garnet faces a struggle of her own. Her telepathy, fire, and mysterious connection to forces moving beneath the surface make her indispensable—and therefore vulnerable to anyone who sees usefulness as ownership. As her relationship with Bernhart deepens, both must confront attraction, fear, sacrifice, and the uncomfortable truth that love can become another prison when protection stops asking permission.

Anjelisse Amethyst remains bound to both of their lives, while her long-lost brother Runik confronts wounds that centuries have not erased. Their fractured family begins finding its way back together, even as prophecy threatens to reduce them once again to functions instead of people.

Then the road goes deeper.

Beyond Naraka lies Gehenna—a world of ash, punishment, forgotten prisoners, corrupted systems, and suffering so old that no surviving government can honestly claim to understand who deserves confinement and who was merely placed there by someone powerful enough to call captivity justice.

The Jashashim entered these worlds believing monsters were behind the doors.

They begin discovering that sometimes the doors themselves are the monsters.

Every rescue becomes a question. Every judgment demands evidence. Every ancient law hides someone who wrote it. And every victory risks creating a new authority capable of repeating the crimes it came to end.

For Bernhart, wielding Omega will prove easier than deciding when not to draw it.

Because freedom imposed by force can become another form of captivity.

And saving someone does not make them yours.

CROWNS AND SPIRITS, Tome II continues the Promised Land saga with interplanetary dark fantasy, supernatural horror, celestial warfare, romance, irreverent humor, political reckoning, and a deeper journey into the Seven Hells and the ancient powers behind them.

The question is no longer whether Bernhart can wield the Flaming Sword of Eden.

It is whether he can carry that power without becoming another god who believes the world belongs to him.
