Rise of the Alliance IV: Nightside of the Sun

Long-dormant magical forces are moving again in Sartorias-deles. In a four volume arc beginning with A Sword Named Truth, a shaky alliance made among young rulers brought too early to their thrones survived a first foray, commanded by Siamis, the handsome young Norsundrian who was born four thousand years ago. e!

The world’s mages know it’s not the quiet of peace—it’s the stillness before the storm.

Trained by Detlev.
