With Footfalls of Shadow

With earthquakes and thunder, or with footfalls of shadow, the will of the fates shall be wrought. A reluctant hero, an evil King and a boy with eyes of pure black who can see the very fabric of the fates. Jeandania is a country in turmoil after a succession of weak and greedy monarchs. Her new King, Arconus, has come to power through disease, and he maintains it through blood, fear and brutality. Liam Foster's peaceful world is shattered by a visit from the King's men, led by the hideous half Bok, Gastious. His tavern, his daughter and his life are torn away from him. On the run, he finds himself entangled in the complex and unpredictable will of the fates. The lives of Liam and Rhemus, the boy with eyes of black, become intimately entangled with King Arconus, the Aehlman witches, the Walvaai sorcerers, the criminal underground of Jeandania and the prophecy of the Hundred Years King.
