Falling Kingdoms

Reach for this book when your teenager begins questioning the integrity of authority figures or feels overwhelmed by the complexity of right and wrong in the adult world. It is an ideal bridge for readers who are ready to move beyond simple hero narratives into stories where good people make difficult mistakes and villains have understandable motives. The story follows four royal and rebel teenagers across three warring kingdoms as they navigate political upheaval and the discovery of long-lost magic. While it is an epic fantasy, the core of the book explores how young people find their own moral compass when their leaders fail them. Parents should be aware that the world is harsh, containing significant character loss and shifting loyalties, making it a sophisticated choice for mature teens seeking to explore themes of resilience, justice, and the heavy weight of legacy.
