With the Grand Vizier remaining a step ahead of his enemies, a mysterious captive might hold the key to exposing his objectives.

The invasion is over, and the survivors of the shattered Rogandan army have straggled home. The people of Arvenon and the surrounding kingdoms are at peace. Or so they believe.

He will settle for nothing less than unending power. No armies are massing at the border. The kingdoms face a threat from within.

With the unseen hand of King Agon of Rogand pulling the strings, a mantle of oppression is slowly settling over the four kingdoms. Now recovered from the assassination attempt, King Steffan of Arvenon sets out to wrest back control of his kingdom, vigorously supported by Will, Rufe, Thomas, and their allies. Unlikely influences might ultimately tip the balance. In a desperate attempt to block Agon, Will and Thomas set out for Rogand. What each of them encounters there will shake them to the core.

Invaders attack the kingdom of Arvenon, and Thomas has nowhere to turn except to his friend Will Prentis, a gifted and ambitious leader who has risen rapidly in the ranks of the king’s army.

Thomas Stablehand’s life is not the only thing spinning out of control since he found the stone. Entire kingdoms are now in turmoil. Will Prentis, newly appointed as army commander, must outmaneuver a growing array of enemies as he prepares for an unequal showdown with Arvenon’s invaders. Thomas, hunted unceasingly, must sacrifice all to safeguard the stone. The fate of kingdoms soon hinges on them as they confront a ruthless invader hiding a darker purpose. The odds are hopeless. And for three kingdoms, the stakes are higher than anyone knows.

But more is at stake than his reputation. In their greed for power, reckless mages are willing to risk a release of magic so powerful it will destroy the kingdom. He alone recognizes the peril. Prohibited from taking action, Dalthinir must decide what he is prepared to lose for the sake of the kingdom. Can he sacrifice everything he cares about to become a scorned and hunted renegade?

Fleeing certain death, a young woman shrouded in mystery arrives in Periton. Rescued by the renegade mages Kylen and Dalthinir, she sets out with them for the ruined kingdom of Methesia.

The truth about its sinister reputation must soon be exposed. What they find in Ettaran could destroy them all. Mortals are flickers of candlelight before a power that shatters kingdoms.

Some would say the Market is the last authentic part of the city centre. This northern city has reinvented itself as a business and financial centre, bristling with designer shops and bars. A cosmopolitan, twenty-four hour city. Yet slap bang in the centre the Victorian City Market remains what it has always been; a place where you can get anything and see anything - a place teeming with life. The market is the real face of the city - mucky, multicultural and magnificent.
