[True Fire 02] • The Fall of Belvedere

In the second volume of True Fire, the Empress Martine, with the assistance of a Q'Herindam Dark Mage, makes a concerted attempt to take the city of Belvedere in Southland and rule in Dominion over all the lands. As her horde streams through the gates into Belvedere, her success is almost guaranteed, only she has overlooked Arwhon and the shadowy being within him. With his Shield and Servant, Arwhon fights Martine in unexpected ways, using strategy which flows into his head unasked for and always seems to be the correct way to go. Many more characters are introduced into the unfolding story of Arwhon's geas as the lands and the people in them are brought to life.
