A hidden threat as darkness gathers

In this epic-fantasy installment, the aftermath of the battle at Starstone Lake continues to shape Drem and his friends, while Fritha, a dangerous demonic high priestess, hunts them. Elsewhere, Riv’s hidden existence puts her at risk from the Ben-Elim, warrior angels determined to guard a secret. As demonic forces gather against the angels’ stronghold, these intertwined dangers lead Drem, Riv, and the Bright Star’s warriors toward a fight for their land. The story brings personal peril and a widening supernatural conflict together, with questions of loyalty, secrecy, and resistance set against a struggle between light and darkness.

Book overview

"A great read that accelerates the pace and goes one up on its excellent predecessor . . . Exciting, action-packed fantasy." -- Mark Lawrence

Defy the darkness. Defend the light.

Drem and his friends are haunted by the horrors they witnessed at the battle at Starstone Lake: the screams of men being warped into beasts and the sight of a demon rising from the dead. But worse than any memory is Fritha, the demons' deadly high priestess. And she is hunting them.

Concealed in Forn Forest, Riv knows her very existence is a threat to the Ben-Elim. She represents their most dangerous secret, and if the warrior angels find her, they won't hesitate to silence her.

As the demonic forces multiply, they send a mighty host to overthrow the angel's stronghold. Like heroes of old, Drem, Riv, and the Bright Star's warriors must battle to save themselves and save their land. But can the light triumph when the dark is rising?
