وصف الناشر
A war once held in the shadows now escalates into full-scale revolution in the second novel of Justin Lee Anderson’s epic Eidyn Saga.
The fog of war is lifted and the conspiracy at the heart of Eidyn finally exposed. Now that they know the truth, Aranok and his allies must find a way to free a country that doesn’t know it’s held captive. But with divided loyalties and his closest friendship shaken, can their alliance hold against overwhelming odds? The quest to retake the country begins here.
“An eclectic cast of characters traverse a war-ravaged kingdom as Anderson's cleverly constructed plot winds its way towards a truly unexpected denouement. Rich in action and intrigue, this fantasy adventure with a Scottish flavor is sure to please fans of David Gemmell.” – Anthony Ryan, New York Times bestselling author

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In the arresting second Eidyn Saga epic fantasy, Anderson creatively builds on the wild twist at the end of The Lost War. Series protagonist Laird Aranok is now fully aware that King Janaeus, whom he'd once thought of as a best friend, is corrupt, having altered the memories of almost everyone in the kingdom to conceal his wrongdoings. Convincing said civilians of this conspiracy will be difficult, however. Aranok, along with the surviving members of his company (including his lover and bodyguard, Allandria), must team up with the magician Mynyngogg, book one's purported villain, to take down Janaeus and solve a lingering whodunit around the murder of Aranok's former teacher. Readers will be eager to see how Anderson handles his rewritten world order, and he pulls it off with aplomb. The result is another page-turning adventure propelled by an inventive plot and three-dimensional characters. Readers will once again be left clamoring for a sequel.
