A kingdom-spanning fantasy of tyranny, war, and a dangerous quest
The second Quickening novel places Wyl Thirsk between the ambitions of King Celimus and the mounting peril facing Morgravia and its neighboring kingdom. Celimus’s drive to expand brings Queen Valentyna under pressure to accept a political marriage, while Wyl confronts the damage already inflicted on those closest to him. With invasion looming and his allies caught in the king’s schemes, Wyl leaves the political struggle behind for a forbidding land in search of the source of Myrren’s sinister gift. The book combines royal power plays, threatened war, and a personal journey into an unknown realm.

To save two kingdoms from a despot's rule, one man must journey into the unknown, seeking answers to the strange and powerful secret that so plagues him.
Wyl Thirsk, loyal soldier of Morgravia, has seen his best friend slain, his sister tortured, and his mentor sent to certain death, all at the hands of his sovereign, the cruel and manipulative King Celimus. Now Celimus, believing himself to be rid of the "moral constraints" of the Thirsk influence, has turned his greedy eye to expansion ... and Morgravia's neighboring kingdom, ruled by the spirited but inexperienced Queen Valentyna. As Celimus pressures Valentyna into a doomed political marriage, Wyl endeavors desperately to preserve both the honor of his country and the freedom of the woman he loves.
But fate has other plans for him. Despite his friends and loved ones becoming increasingly tangled in the evil machinations of King Celimus, though war with the dread Northern Kingdom appears imminent and Valentyna is poised to succumb to Morgravia's oily rule, Wyl must leave behind all he knows and cares about and travel into the land from which none return, seeking out the bestower of Myrren's sinister gift.
