Koramarian Ways

Koraramian Ways is the second book in the Grimes Trilogy.

Grimes and Elsay, both members of a secret race called Ancients, travel with Willyum the Bushman, to Willyum's home, the United Princedoms of the Kingdom of Koramar. Willyum, soon revealed to be Prince Haglund, and his two companions arrive to discover that Sarcigens, the centuries old enemies of Ancients, have taken over the Koramarian throne. Many battles are fought to re-take Haglund’s throne, revealing Grimes’ and Elsay’s increasingly special powers. But Gorputh is able to hold the castle secure and unassailable until Grimes invents the parachute and a winged flyer to attack and infiltrate it. The hundred Koramarian warriors that had been held in humiliating and degrading capture inside the castle, are released, and help to destroy the evil forces from within the castle walls.
Seventeen years pass peacefully. Grimes and Elsay have two children, Raven and Marn, also Ancients with special powers, each in their own right. Then Gorpurth, the Sarcigen believed to have been killed, is discovered to still be alive and seeking revenge. He will stop short of nothing but the subjugation of all humans and the death of all Ancients. Gorpurth uses the cochina seed, a strong addictive drug, to enslave and control his Fuchian armies and their ravenous canine hunters, the Goron. The power of the seed also allows Gorpurth to transform himself into a massive and vicious eagle who can attack without warning. As evil is set to prevail, the Sorceress, another Ancient from Grimes' distant past, arrives, herself transformed into the form of a raven. A bloody and brutal battle occurs on the ground; and in the air, the raven and the eagle, good and evil, Ancient and Sarcigen, fight for supremacy.
Themes of science, politics, personal growth, magical powers, philosophy, brutal warfare, and above all a continuing love story, will draw readers to this unique world.
