Dead Heat: Book Three of the Second Awakening Series by Alexander C. Eberhart

Description

The Second Awakening has transformed the world.

Its greatest champion has vanished.

Three months after Tobias Greene unleashed a magical revolution across the Expanse, he remains trapped in an unnatural slumber. While kingdoms struggle to adapt to a new era of power, those closest to him refuse to give up hope that he can be saved.

Bastien has devoted every waking moment to finding a way to break Tobias’s mysterious sleep. Grief, frustration, and exhaustion threaten to overwhelm him, made all the more complicated by the infuriatingly charming Cirian, whose constant presence stirs emotions Bastien would rather ignore.

For Azrael, victory in war has brought unexpected challenges. As the reluctant leader of a movement seeking equality for his people, he must navigate diplomacy instead of battle. But when an urgent call for help reunites him with Tobias’s closest allies, ancient magical bonds begin to shift in ways none of them anticipated, forcing Azrael to question everything he believed about his own heart.

Meanwhile, Cirian faces the greatest responsibility of his life. With his spiritual leader gone, the future of the Church of the Source may soon rest on his shoulders. Doubting his own abilities yet unwilling to abandon those he cares about, Cirian must discover strengths he never believed he possessed.

As political tensions rise and powerful enemies exploit the uncertainty surrounding Tobias’s disappearance, the three men are drawn into a dangerous race against time. To save the man they love and preserve the fragile future he created, they’ll need to confront powerful magic, impossible choices, and the complicated bonds growing between them.

Blending exhilarating action, rich worldbuilding, emotional character development, and a compelling polyamorous romance, Dead Heat delivers another thrilling chapter in Alexander C. Eberhart’s Second Awakening series. Filled with magic, adventure, and unforgettable relationships, it explores the many forms love, loyalty, and family can take in a world forever changed.
