Pages : 246
Book Description
Colonel Ridge Zirkander isn’t the model of military professionalism—he has a tendency to say exactly what’s on his mind, and his record has enough demerits to wallpaper the hull of an airship—but as the best fighter pilot in the Iskandian army, he’s used to a little leniency from his superiors. Until he punches the wrong diplomat in the nose and finds himself issued new orders: take command of a remote prison mine in the inhospitable Ice Blades Mountains. Ridge has never been in charge of anything larger than a flier squadron—what’s he supposed to do with a frozen fortress full of murderers and rapists? Not to mention the strange woman who shows up right before he arrives… Sardelle Terushan wakes from three hundred years in a mage stasis shelter, only to realize that she is the last of the Referatu, the sorcerers who once helped protect Iskandia from conquerors. Their subterranean mountain community was blown up in a treacherous sneak attack by soldiers who feared their power. Everyone Sardelle ever knew is dead, and the sentient soulblade she has been bonded to since her youth is buried in the core of the mountain. Further, what remains of her home has been infested by bloodthirsty miners commanded by the descendants of the very soldiers who destroyed her people. Sardelle needs help to reach her soulblade—her only link to her past and her last friend in the world. Her only hope is to pretend she’s one of the prisoners while trying to gain the commander’s trust. But lying isn’t her specialty, especially when the world has changed so much in the intervening centuries, and if Colonel Zirkander figures out who she truly is, he’ll be duty-bound to sentence her to the only acceptable punishment for sorcerers: death.

Book Description
Defeat looms over the company of Ornan as their quest has seemingly failed. But by the grace of Vashaar Burdep is spared to fight another day. As the company continues the search for the seven firstborn of Domus-Lux the pressure mounts upon Kerj-Oruras to respond. As armies march and the death cloud of the north infringes on the boarder of Hennyfed an all-out war with Oruras seems inevitable. The company continues to struggle from within as threats from spies, saboteurs and traitors mount. With the added conflict from Oruras armies the company is once more faced with the possibility of falling from with. Burdep concludes that if the company is to have victory then he must throw aside his doubts and trust his closest friends and lean wholeheartedly on the grace of Vashaar. In spite of the conflict Burdep must still find a way to revive the Blade of Ornan and reclaim his homeland from his fathers advisor. If he fails to become chieftain then the hope of Domus-Lux could fail with him and the Age of Ornan come to a close in a most terrible fashion, but with victory comes the possibility of giving Oruras the push that he is looking for to march on Domus-Lux and for the first time in two thousand years force the enemy into the Unveiling of Oruras Power.
