A note for parents
Requiem for the Sun is an epic fantasy sequel that continues themes of heroism and sacrifice but contains significant fantasy violence, warfare, and darker mature themes. The story involves combat, assassination, and a plot centered on an empire in crisis with threats to a protagonist's unborn child. While it rewards courage and loyalty, the book is best suited for older teens who have read the trilogy and can handle complex fantasy violence and emotional stakes.

A fellowship of three had been forged, companions brought together by fate, driven by prophecy: Rhapsody, a Singer of great talent and beauty; Achmed, an assassin with unearthly talents; and Grunthor, a giant of jolly disposition and lethal skill with weapons. The three overcame great adversity in defeating the F'dor--an ancient evil being intent on destroying the world--their battle culminating in Destiny, a thundering crescendo of tragedy, love, and triumph of the human spirit over world-shattering cataclysm. Now comes... Requiem for the Sun, Sequel to the USA Today bestselling Rhapsody Trilogy It has been three years since their devastating battle, and peace has settled across their land.
