Second book in the highly praised series, following the starred review
by Publishers Weekly for book one.
Readers who love medieval-esque fantasy will delight in this rousing
tale of rebellion." -- Publishers Weekly starred review of Book
1 in the series
The Heron Kings have been betrayed. A century after their formation from
a gang of desperate peasant insurgents, the shadowy band of forest
rangers suffers a rare defeat when a skirmish turns into a bloody
ambush. Their shaky truce with the crown is tested as young members
Linet and Aerrus work to track down their enemies. When reluctant
peacetime soldier Eyvind reveals a conspiracy to welcome the charismatic
invader Phynagoras, the trio must convince a weak king and pitifully few
allies to stand against the storm.
Their only hope lies in the forgotten tactics of their own guerrilla
past, and a terrifying new alchemical weapon the likes of which the
world had never imagined. The only question is which side will be
destroyed by it first...
