Nessantico Cycle
3 primary works
Book 1
It is the fiftieth anniversary of the empress's reign so a huge celebration is planned, which makes it the perfect time for chaos and conquest.
Book 2
"...A boy king--Audric, grandson of the legendary Kraljica Marguerite ca'Ludovici--rules Nessantico under the tutelage of Sergei ca'Rudka, but the boy is ill and there are those who are waiting impatiently for the Sun Throne to become vacant again. The continent-spanning empire of the Holdings has broken in half, with Firenzcia and neighboring countries to the east crreating a rival alliance. The Concénzia Faith has also been sundered, with Archigos Ana ca'Seranta ruling in Nessantico while another in Brezno claims the same title...Nessantico must face a threat unlike any other in its long, illustrious history: a threat that will take it to the knife edge of destruction."--dust cover flap.
Book 3
Kraljica Allesandra sits on the Sun Throne of a much-diminished Holdings empire, while her son Jan rules the rival Coalition of Firenzcia. The schism between them threatens to tear apart the realm when they need solidarity the most. Facing powerful threats, from the rising influence of the Numetodo sect to the fundamentalist preacher Nico Morel-as well as the army of Tehuantin from across the sea- Allesandra and Jan must each find a pathway to survival for themselves and their people.
