If you're a first-time reader of the Cuchara series, you might want to take a few minutes to read this short section and get caught up on the characters and their stories. Better yet, read The Cuchara Chronicles, the first novel of the series, and Out of Purgatory: the Chronicles Continue. If you're a faithful reader and just want to be reminded of who's who and their parts in the continuing story, I hope that the next few pages will whet your appetite for what comes next.

Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
An independent novel set in the world of Hawklan. Vashnar is the Commander of Arvenstaat's Wardens. Ambitious, ruthless, and weary of the antiquated and irrelevant proceedings of its government, the Moot, he plans to seize power and re-establish the ancient rule of the Dictators. But, in a terrifying confrontation, his messenger, Thyrn, a young inexperienced Caddoran, sensitive to the point almost of telepathy, reads the intentions beneath his words and flees in panic. Accompanied by his uncle, three Wardens -- reluctant allies -- and Endryk, a shoreman, Thyrn is driven into the Karpas Mountains by Vashnar's relentless pursuit. There, however, a darker power begins to reveal itself: a power which has waited for time beyond knowing for such as Vashnar; a power that will drive his ambitions far beyond the boundaries of Arvenstaat; a power which, apart from Vashnar himself, only Thyrn can sense and oppose. But by any measure, Thyrn is no warrior, and his companions are too few to stand against Vashnar's vicious Tervaidin...
