Taldorian Chronicles

Trouble is brewing on the borders of the Taldorian Empire, and it is the Outrunners who must answer the call to arms. Tensions run high in the Rills family as Aeron faces the trials. With one brother already dead, Aeron must prove he is enough to meet the challenge. Garret wonders if his decision to become an Outrunner was the right one. The overlooked youngest child in a mariner family, he is the only one of countless siblings to reject a life at sea. Now with war on the horizon, his charm may not be enough to save him.

Analise begins to realize she is in over her head as scorpions rain down from the sky. Suddenly the prophecy seems plausible, as terrifying images of a hooded, deviant smile threaten to drive her insane. Perhaps Terramar, the old mage from Nørd, knows more than he is letting on. Four thousand years have passed since the fall of Antirion, and Terramar fears that history will repeat itself in Taldor.
