The Pride of Tirillae

The Pride of Tirillae is the companion volume to Beyond the Twilight Mountains.
Legally pardoned, Tamalaine is ready to return home to Tirillae with Arachlin when they learn that Queen Kaeolinu is dead. In a risky bid for power Princess Sybrielle has poisoned herself and two Minstrels as well as her mother, framing her sister for regicide and declaring herself queen. Though Laine's reinstatement was officially recorded into the continental archives, there is no proof of it in Tirillae, and the circumstances surrounding her exile make Sybrielle's charges unfortunately very plausible.
Using her blood bond to Loreitus, Tamalaine could easily force the issue by ordering the dragons to incinerate Tirillae from one end to the other, but such a savage act would irreparably damage both her kingdom and her reputation. Instead Arachlin counsels his wife to patiently build her public standing with the rest of the continent as he works with the Five Valleys division. Together they prepare for the Royal General to take back her kingdom, using traditional troops to avoid pointless mass destruction and taking advantage of the dragons' loyalty to plan an innovative method of attack that will hopefully spare many lives.
