[Nexus Wars Saga 02] • Ashar'an Rising

Book 2 of the Nexus Wars Saga, by Robert Day.

* * *

'From the blood of the noble serpents he shall rise,

born of the snow and mountains by the star- child

and raised by the wolf under the shadow of the watcher.

Washed with the blood of innocents and wielding the dragon's flame,

he shall rise from the flames and strike at the hosts of hell,

and death shall be his guide to either salvation or destruction.

then the son of the Lion shall travel to the sylvan ocean,

and within find the daughter of the long-lived,

so shall they unite their people as one to follow the river of blood

that the Skymaster has ridden.'

:The Chronicles of Yas, T.E. 1105

After the disturbing events around the Trial of Combat in Thorhus, Val travels south toward Dak'mar, where he hopes to discover more about his heritage while searching out more pieces of the Artefact. But with the Demon Hordes invading the Elven realm of Lloreander, and Ashar'an tyrants growing more powerful among some of the most influential governments in the realm, time grows short. In his quest to re-assemble the Disk of Akashel, will he be able to outpace and outsmart his enemies, yet even if he does, will the cost be too much to pay?
