The second book in the breathtaking epic fantasy of heritage, vengeance,
and destiny....
Though a decade has passed since the barbarian Loethar brutally
conquered the last remaining, most powerful realm in the Denova Set, the
coveted Valisar Enchantment, the irresistible ability to coerce and
control, eludes him still.
Ten years since the warlord butchered the Set's royals and feasted on
their blood...but he did not kill them all. Having secretly escaped
Loethar's wrath, the young Valisar prince Leonel has grown to manhood
under the protection of the notorious highwayman Kilt Faris. Now the boy
king wants more than his rightful throne of Penraven; he wants revenge.
But not all of enslaved Penraven wishes for Leonel's rule. Indeed,
Loethar has spent the past 10 years uniting the Set's realms into a
peaceful, prosperous empire. And unbeknownst to all, the true inheritor
of the Valisar Enchantment is awakening. A dark threat, far more
sinister than even the invasion of the barbarian horde a decade earlier,
is poised to threaten the Crown and reveal the most shocking Valisar
secret of all.
