The Three Kings

What does it cost to become a king? Tomas touched a watch with a living heart-and lost thirteen years of his life. Sofia sought answers from a creature that stitched each truth in gold. Morrow opened a forbidden door to save a child, knowing Death would demand a price. Their stories began separately. Their wounds did not. In The Three Kings, the lives of Time, Wisdom, and Death draw three more rulers into their shadow: Honor, Love, and Truth. A rose survives where it should have died. A broken mirror holds more than a reflection. And a boy's whisper follows the kings across years he has not yet lived. This complete seven-story collection reveals how each ruler earned a crown, what each tried to bury, and why the truth waited until the end to speak. Some things are lost. Others are taken.
