Overview

There is nothing wrong with ashes. Sometimes you have to burn things to the ground so something new can grow. The realm of Ardaion stands on a knife's edge, two queens locked in a battle for its soul. Fae courts once bound by law and blood have splintered. From the fledgling Twilight Court, Serena unites a council of outcasts and former enemies beneath a single cause: to protect their home from a darkness that is no longer merely political, but something far older. Across the water, Queen Mab's ruthless alliance with a mercenary army prepares a scorched-earth campaign to wipe Twilight-and its queen-off the map. But Mab's hunger for power has a cost. As she experiments with dark forces to fuel her ambitions, the very foundations of Ardaion begin to fracture. What rises from those fractures is something even Mab could not foresee. The final war for the Trident Throne has begun. Mother against daughter. Queen against queen. Siren against Siren. Legacyis an epic fantasy combining the queen-driven scale of Kingdom of Ash, the dark siren mythology of To Kill a Kingdom, and the generational conflict of The Poppy War. Legacy is the third and final book in the bestselling Trident Throne Trilogy by Canadian author Isla Melysin.

Reviewed By Mark K. McClain for Readers' Favorite Isla Melysin has crafted a sprawling epic adventure in The Trident Throne Trilogy, weaving together brutal courts, ruthless politics, a wonderful heroine, and a well-developed magic system into a gripping tale. The novel follows Serena, a young woman abandoned at birth, who faces a tumultuous journey of hardship and personal growth. Each obstacle she encounters shapes her into a resilient, determined heroine. Melysin skillfully portrays Serena's emotional struggles with grief, anger, and remorse, making her journey feel both real and compelling. From her debut, Melysin has been a dominant new voice in fantasy. In true epic style, she immerses readers in a wonderfully imagined world of magic, fae courts, political intrigue, and emotional depth. The worldbuilding in this trilogy is one of its strongest elements. It is a place where every character's decision has real weight and consequences. The depth of each character, including their relationships-especially the strained one between Serena and her stony, rather nasty mother-adds authenticity. The growing love triangle added a layered complexity to her emotional journey. All these factors added depth, raising the stakes as Serena's journey unfolds. This is a wonderful story for readers who love fae, magic, epics, or simply a superbly written coming-of-age novel with all its complexities and thrills. The novel has hints of epic fantasy writers like Goodkind, Eddings, and Sanderson. The author's writing showcases her talent for weaving intricate plots, filled with tension, betrayal, and moments of deep connection. For readers who enjoy fae lore, complex magic systems, and a well-told coming-of-age story full of tension and heart, this trilogy is a standout.
