Dying for War (The Fragmented) | Paperback| 2026 | by Paul E Smith | Fantasy | Third Book in the Fragmented Series

Cries for war ring out amongst the empire and those who appeal for peace end up dead!

Back in Vangormia, Teelan is investigating whether these deaths are accidental or the sinister doings of the warmongers. As each body reveals more clues, the evidence points him towards a theory that is truly terrifying to comprehend.

Drevin is now a soldier of the empire and hopes for a calmer future. But, as always, his hopes are shattered as his past catches up to him with devastating consequences.

Cali is uneasy in her new life, scorned as an outsider with inordinate power. She is wary and vigilant of those around her. But, as she is watching them, someone is watching her. Though perhaps more worryingly, it seems that even her own body is betraying her.

Each death brings the prospect of war closer, unless they can find those responsible. And even if they do, will the emperor be appeased? Or will they find themselves on the run yet again? Or perhaps something much worse?
