The Butterfly Illusion

The shadow of war stretches over the northlands. The elven wood burns as Zarrum invaders encroach from the north. Ogres,orcs, and goblin hoards wreak havoc and take strongholds, leaving slaughtered people and burned out villages in their wake.

Jayde, a young elvish battlemage, burns as well . . . with vengeance. Her village destroyed, her mother murdered, she takes up her sword and bow, cloaking herself in spellcraft, to becoming the Butterfly Assassin, a thorn in the side of the Zarrum invaders. Still, hiding and killing is lonely work until she meets a human paladin from the south. A man of faith that calls her deeds to task.

Mathus, Paladin of Thon the Thunderer, doesn't know quite what to make of the elf girl he's fallen in with. Swift with her blade and spells, Fiona doesn't fit into any of the carefully crafted boxes he's created for women or elves. Could she be the object of his god-given quest?

The Butterfly Illusion is the second book in the Heroes of Harth series, an epic adventure across a sprawling fantasy world.
