Author: Brett Armstrong
Publisher: Expanse Books
Release Date: December 12, 2023
Genre: Christian, Epic/High Fantasy, Young Adult
Haunted by tragedies and failures, Anargen and Jason each struggle to find their way. Night has fallen in the Lowlands and neither teen has an easy road ahead. In Anargen’s Era, Monarch Ilyron’s powers and influence grow, forcing Anargen and his dwindling list of allies to travel the length of the Lowlands in a desperate attempt to keep the Quest and all they hold dear from falling into ruin.
Jason meanwhile must find Aria and her grandfather to help unite the Knights of Light from across the Lowlands against his brother, Dorian. But agents of darkness and painful vestiges of his past mix with vindictive new enemies to make the hope of seeing the dawn of the longed-for King’s Day ever so faint. If either teen gives in and surrenders, doom will come swiftly on their world.
Excerpt
“Please, my Great King. You must hear me! It was you who shattered my chains. You’ve safeguarded my steps to come this far. Please, help us!”
Another whistle sliced through the air, and again, Jason felt the ground shuddering under him as if even more terrified than him. Jason smelled smoke, heavy and thick, billowing to him, mingled with dust from pulverized stone. He coughed and unclenched himself enough to get low to the ground, evading the choking cloud. There were moans from those wounded, those dying. Crackling sounds came from the stone close by, threatening to give way. They couldn’t take one more hit like this, or they would all die, and the entire quest would falter.
He started to plea again for deliverance, this time angry and bitter that they would fail. Before the words reached his lips, he recalled something from the stories about Anargen. Those of his time in Ordumair during the siege when everything had seemed lost and after they had just narrowly escaped death in Cattingsford but had no certainty of the morrow.
“Sometimes we are called to make a stand, even if it ends in sorrow. Sometimes, the stand is the most powerful implement for the High King to cast off darkness.”
“Oh, my Great King. I’m quick to forget. I asked to be kept bold to the end. Not for the end to be easy and without a fight. Give me the strength to stand firm.”
