Synopsis

From New York Times and Indie bestselling author Joan He, comes Sound the Gong, the dazzling and sweeping conclusion to the Kingdom of Three duology.

All her life, Zephyr has tried to rise above her humble origins as a no-name orphan. Now she is a god in a warrior's body, and never has she felt more powerless.

The warlordess Xin Ren holds the Westlands, but her position is tenuous. In the north, the empress remains a puppet under Miasma's thumb. In the south, the alliance with Cicada is in pieces.

Fate has a winner in mind for the three kingdoms, but Zephyr has no intentions of respecting it. She will pay any price to see Ren succeed—and she will make her enemies pay, especially the enigmatic Crow. What she'll do when she finds out the truth . . . only the heavens know.

Not every book I read (even those I greatly enjoy) sticks with me quite the way a Joan He book does. Her stories sink into my bones. They wriggle into my brain.

Goodreads review by Chloe on September 28, 2023

What do you even say after finishing one of the best duologies you've ever been given the chance to reading? A true masterpiece in political intrigue, this book is a triumph not only in itself, but as a follow up to its predecessor and as a conclusion to a series. From a simple strategic level, it ma......more
