The Sword Ascendant

Olandra’s true children are about to arise.

Worrying news reaches Thrace Vetravian and his companions. Ageing and with no apparent successor, the regent of Falinor now stretches out his hand to the unconquered, neutral island state of Girada. Soon, a joint force of Eternium Peacekeepers and Eskardi conscripts will sail for the Wirren Strait.

Fearing Ashmon Tiel’s covetous eyes might finally fall upon her people in Skayvor, Kiara insists on returning home to seek counsel among the Helsund.

Meanwhile, bearing evidence of Olandra’s true history, Thrace, Shaywyn, Horgren and Gullen ride south to Emberfall, intent on igniting a revolt against the oppressive regime. With new friends joining along the way, a mishmash army comprising warriors and courageous ordinary folk squares up to tyranny.

Old alliances are renewed and new ones established, while the descendant of a loyal soldier maintains an impossible fight from long ago. A living legend he thought never to meet accompanies Thrace and his rebel forces, ready to render judgement upon the regent with cold steel.

Can Vetravian’s heir help them restore freedom to Olandra and reclaim his birthright?

Can he win Kiara’s tempestuous heart?
