ByPublisher Description
A masterpiece in political intrigue, Sound the Gong is the breathtaking conclusion to New York Times and Indie bestselling author Joan He’s Kingdom of Three duology. Full of secrets and betrayal, this inventive and sweeping fantasy is perfect for fans of Rebecca Ross and Chloe Gong.
Zephyr rose above her humble origins as a no-name orphan, becoming a god in a warrior’s body, but she has never felt more powerless. It's the price of war, of enacting strategy, of gods and magic and fate.
But Zephyr has no intentions of respecting fate. She will do anything to see her plan succeed, and to make her enemies pay, especially the enigmatic Crow.
What she’ll do when she finds out the truth. . . Only the heavens know.
Featuring gorgeous map art and black-and-white portraits, Sound the Gong is the second book in Joan He's riveting Kingdom of Three duology that explores human greed and ambition in a war-torn world. Don't miss the epic beginning in Strike the Zither!

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
What can I really say about this book? What could I not say? Honestly this is one of the most intense books I have ever read. I was left knawing at the bars of my enclosure every time I had to step away from this book to actually do my job.
This story is not a love story. It is full of war and plotting and so much death. The ideals of human nature and the value people place in different people/places is what truly shines through in this tale. It is a story of strategy, of chance, of all the what ifs and possibilities that come with life and the decisions we make. It puts one person/god in charge of fate. Or more accurately, one person/god takes charge of fate even if it means giving up her own existence.
I could have never guessed the a young adult fantasy novel would grip me as much as this one did.
That being said, I wish this were a romance, but that would be unfair to the story and characters as a whole. Which is why I’m so so happy we got a “not-quite-canon” bonus chapter from the author.
Ugh
I will never be over this duology.
Explanation for why I can’t give this book 5 stars…. Honestly it’s just because I got overstimulated sometimes lol there is no fluff in this book it is all brutal reality. Thus, reading the second book without the whole crowxzephyr angst and few fluffy moments in the first book, it just took me a bit of time to get my brain back on track.”Katelynn Cai
