Trouble stirs between nations and rebellion threatens Faeraven.

When Kai returns with the supposed DawnKing, Lof Shraen Elcon cannot trust that the Elder youth truly is the prophesied deliverer. Driven to prove himself, Elcon banishes the boy and embarks on a peace-keeping campaign into the Elder lands, where he falls in love with an Elder princess betrothed to another.

Sometimes the deliverance of a nation comes only through the humility of one.

Declaring his love would shame the nations, but Elcon is torn. As war approaches, Elcon’s choices lead him on a journey of discovery that will either settle the lands or leave them mired in conflict. Can his kingdom ever be united, or will the consequences of his decisions forever tear asunder the fabric of Faeraven?

The High Queen is dying…

At the royal summons, Shae mounts a wingabeast and soars through the air to the high hold of Faeraven, where all is not as it seems. Visions warn her of danger, and a dark soul touches hers in the night. When she encounters an attractive but disturbing musician, her wayward heart awakens.

But then there is Kai, a guardian of Faeraven and of Shae. Secrets bind him to her, and her safety lies at the center of every decision he makes.

On a desperate journey fraught with peril and the unknown, they battle warlike garns, waevens, ferocious raptors, and the wraiths of their own regrets. Yet, they must endure the campaign long enough to release the DawnKing and the salvation he offers into a divided land. To prevail, each must learn that sometimes victory comes only through surrender.

EXCERPT

[Note: On the verge of battle, Elcon, the high king of Faeraven, wakes in the allerstaed (place of prayer), having fallen asleep while keeping vigil.]

Elcon woke on the cold stone floor of the allerstaed to a blast of trumpets, Torindan’s call to arms, followed by the crash of the first volley from the besieger’s catapults. An unholy uproar commenced—the sound of war. He pushed upright, his heart pounding in his chest like a caged bird. His knees shook. With a trembling hand, he pushed the hair from his eyes as he swallowed against the taste of shame. He’d not known the full extent of his cowardice until now.

“Elcon…” His name carried as if borne on a breeze. Indeed a strange current stirred the air. He lifted his head, blinked in sudden light, and gasped.

Shae stood before him. Shae and not Shae, for her face and form were the same as he remembered but somehow inconsequential, a vision he could not touch. She wore a simple tunic of blue and her hair cascaded in a river of golden fire to her waist. She watched him with sad eyes.

He gaped at her. “Have I lost my reason?”

Shae’s laugh carried the upward lilt he remembered, although it sounded far away. “Brother, take courage.”

“How can a coward take courage?”

“We all feel the bite of fear, Elcon. You must not let it devour you.”

“How do you suggest I avoid that? Fear clads itself in armor and marches now on Torindan.”

“You must stand, Elcon, and wield Sword Rivenn. If you do not, your armies will lose heart, and Torindan will fall.” She faded as she spoke.

He lurched forward. “Wait, don’t go!”

“My strength fails. I must leave the gateway.” But she lingered, growing fainter.

“What is this of a gateway? Can you not return to us through it? Or do you speak of the veil of death?”

She shook her head. “I have not crossed beyond that veil yet.” Her words sighed, just above a whisper. “There are many gateways, Elcon, and many worlds.”

Her form shifted and vanished. But her words remained, seeded inside him, sprouting to bear fruit.
