Kingdom below - Paperback

Every piece of food in Evanus has turned to ash. The third prophetic flame has ignited above the City Beneath, revealing the Black Rider and his golden scales. Across the human and supernatural worlds, crops wither, livestock starve, rivers empty, and carefully guarded supplies disappear. As millions of desperate refugees gather outside Evanus, the Seven Thrones demand that the city close its gates. Zephira refuses. With Daniel, Vharok, Unity, and the Five beside her, Zephira searches for a way to defeat an enemy no weapon can touch. But the Black Rider does more than create hunger. His scales measure sacrifice, obedience, bloodline, and worth deciding who deserves to eat and who must be forgotten. As starvation divides former allies, ancient rulers protect their private stores, supernatural kingdoms turn against human refugees, and Calloway manipulates the crisis from the shadows. To save both worlds, Zephira must confront a dangerous belief buried beneath every kingdom: that survival is something people must earn. Their search leads below Evanus into a forgotten kingdom where imprisoned giants, corrupted celestial keepers, and the roots of the world's first harvest have waited for thousands of years. There, Zephira discovers that ending Famine will require more than restoring the food. She must break the system that decides whose life has value. But beyond the third flame, a pale horse is already waiting and it remembers every person who escaped the ending Heaven wrote for them. Kingdom Below, Book Four of The City Beneath, is an epic dark-fantasy adventure about hunger, sacrifice, compassion, and the difference between saving a kingdom and deciding who deserves to survive.
