The Martyr's Deception

Altered by the things she's seen and done, the same old Blastborn doesn't feel the same anymore. In her frustration, she lets slip that Blastborn citizens were unwitting captives by order of their own government when the wrong reporter was listening. Soon after that, the protests started.

She's got more than bad press to worry about when an old man asks her to free people held in a temporal anomaly, inside the mountain range separating Blastborn from the rest of the world. When they turn out to be prisoners convicted for their role in the same war that resulted in Blastborn being started, you would think recapturing them is the hard part.

Sam and Melanie are still in Vensay, and Graham is far too interested in the crystals Arabeth brought back with her. This time, her world is changed by a strange man in a mechanized suit of over-sized armour.

This is book 3 in the Arabeth Barnes Fantasy Adventure series.
