'In the lands of Saranthium, the pact between human and serpent is failing. Rogue serpents are attacking villages, and in the city of Salmut rumours claim that the banished god, Azoth, has returned to resurrect his empire of slavery. An orphan at five, a thief and a survivor, Shaan lives in a whorehouse and works in the serpent yards of Salmut. She dreams of joining the Riders, the elite warriors who patrol the skies from the backs of the serpents. But Shaan's dreams are haunted by visions of a burning city and a voice that whispers in an ancient tongue. Meanwhile, in the harsh desert of the Clans, Tallis has grown up under the burden of his difference. When he faces being made an outcast, his mother reveals the truth of his birth. It is a secret that propels him away from all he has known and onto a journey to understand the unnatural power locked within him. Drawn together, Shaan and Tallis are ensnared in the resurrection of an ancient conflict. But on whose side? That of the serpents or the people?' (Source: Libraries Australia)

'Romance, adventure, fantasy, and myth combine in the final book in Lara Morgan's enchanting Twins of Saranthium trilogy.

'Lost to the splitting, retrieved by the ring, sing with her bane and recast all things…

'Saranthium is enslaved by the power of The Four. The people’s only haven is with the Clans of the desert and their only hope lies with the twins. But Shaan is trapped in the Void and Tallis can no longer find the serpents.

'To save his sister Tallis must capture the Prophet’s Ring from the stronghold of the gods, but to do so requires laying his life at their feet.

'Meanwhile Shaan must embark on an odyssey of her own, through the strange ways of the Void, with only a bitter and defeated Azoth at her side. Tasked by the Guides with finding Ogia’s Shore, Shaan must fight to find her way, and if she fails, she will be trapped forever and Saranthium will fall for good.'
