Aramis is betrayed by the Prophet of Edria and finds himself imprisoned. When the Prophet finds the location of the next item that Mordum's follower's seek, he forces Aramis to retrieve it. Yet Aramis has his own plans and finds unexpected help, and disasters, along the way.
Talvaard is at war with the tribal elvish invaders. Garrick, newly crowned king, must find a way to end the war and restore the peace he has worked so hard to achieve. When he reveals the Mark he carries, he encounters mixed emotions - and not all of them are favorable.
Admidst it all, the usurper of Oakvalor's throne - Aramis's brother - also desires to find the items for Mordum's return. His dark past, and the wicked company he keeps, reveal why he hasn't been seen for years. His ties to the kingdom are deep and he has no intention of releasing control.
Hey! My name is Richard Fierce and I’m a fantasy and space opera author. I’ve been writing since I was a child but began publishing in 2007. Since then, I’ve written multiple novels and short stories.
In 2000, I won Poet of the Year for my poem The Darkness. I’m also one of the creative brains behind the Allatoona Book Festival, a literary event in Acworth, Georgia.
A recovering retail worker, I now works in the tech industry when I’m not busy writing.
I’m married and have 3 step-daughters (pray for me), three dogs (two huskies!), three cats, two ferrets and a fish. Basically, I have a zoo.
My love affair with fantasy was born in high school when a friend’s mother gave me a copy of Dragons of Spring Dawning by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman.
