Summary

Evil returns to Pelenor. The court of shadows will reign. The revolution has begun.

Dimitri raised Saradon willingly; but now he realises that time, hate, and the darkest of magics have twisted a revolutionary into an evil that seeks dominion over all. Dimitri is bound to Saradon’s cause, no matter the abhorrent acts Saradon already commits.

The dwarven realm of Valtivar shall be the first to fall to the feral scourge of goblins, followed by the crumbling kingdom of Pelenor, unless Dimitri can somehow twist his orders to avert the death of both nations before it is too late.

Harper is thrust into the middle of the conflict when her dwarven companion Ragnar is taken by the goblin horde. But, the hands of fate play a melody she cannot begin to dream of. In the dwarven halls, she discovers her destiny, and her identity at the hands of a goddess-like prophetess. It could not be farther from what she imagines.

The truth will pit all against her, for Harper holds great darkness within her, but in her hands is the only chance for success - and it is nigh on impossible.

Now, Harper finds herself in a race to not only save her friend, but the future of Valtivar and Pelenor.

Will Harper and Dimitri be able to work together to defeat Saradon?

Return to the Chronicles of Pelenor to enjoy this fast-paced epic fantasy filled with intrigue and shades-of-grey characters who struggle to survive in an ever-changing game of mortal danger.

The story continues

The story remains solid and the performance is excellent. The politics and scheming of the various characters is truly excellent with the author providing their inner monologue, allowing you to truly understand why they make the choices they do.

Brilliant, can't wait for the next book!

What a fantastic plot, full of surprises and great developments. Loving having a new enjoyable epic story that has captured my attention, this book and the first in the series were both excellent. Meg Cowley writes a fantastic story and Jack Voraces narrates with skill and clarity, highly recommend.

Stakes are greatly raised for the heroes

This series opened strongly with some strong world-building along with an interesting and varied cast, this second instalment maintains that strong start and then proceeds to ramp everything up with the main cast suffering and struggling greatly against an even bigger threat than before.

The trouble they experience in this book helps to further develop the characters strongly, particularly Harper who learns the terrible secrets of her ancestry, not to mention additional pressure being put on her with a prediction of a destiny for her too.

The narrator again delivers a strong and entertaining performance that nicely enhances the immersion and enjoyment of this book.

Overall, this series goes from strength to strength, building on a strong opening book.
