The dazzling epic fantasy from a stunning new talent continues in this second volume.
Enter a world where for centuries darkness has been kept at bay and a small group of men and women have taken the challenge to fulfil a prophecy and change the course of their worldâÂÂs history. Attempting to convince the Council of Faltha, in the great City of Instruere, of the need for all nations to combine forces and defeat the armies of Bhrudwo, the Company are rebuffed and some of their members are imprisoned. Their choices are difficult: whether to continue their journey and attempt to find the fiery arrow of legend which may help to rouse their world against invasion, or go home and await the armies of Kannwar, the Immortal Destroyer, as they raze all before them.
