Laria's Shadows, Book 2 of the Laria Saga (Hardcover)


Book Description

Peace claims the Eternal War. The races withhold militant relations, but that doesn't stop King Gorlath from mobilizing the greatest host of knights in known history. Anstin Lorice, a young man living in the north, has been accepted as one of Gorlath's new recruits and has impressed the court so highly that he is granted a bride and a place in the succession of the crown. His friend Doream, a farmer not as skilled as Anstin, yearns for a simple life free of Oilic. Oilic has plagued Laria for nearly two decades, and still there is no cure for the dark legacy Foresythe left. After tragedy strikes, Anstin and Doream are thrust unwillingly into the chaos that lurks in the shadows, and they must forsake their old lives in order to find an escape. Greedy men build Machines against royal decrees, nobles struggle for power, Sion priests deceive their patrons, and secrets and lies become close companions as the frozen war threatens to ignite once more. Unless the hero of prophecy appears, Laria is set to shatter.
