Enesfel had known peace for eleven years. The reign of Arlan Lachlan ushered in a period of prosperity the kingdom had not enjoyed since the days of Kings Innis and Donal. In Rhidam, Kavan's life settled into a comfortable routine of music and the tutoring of the royal Lachlan children, an effort to hide, to leave the epitaphs of miracle-worker and saint behind.A specter from the past, however, brings with it a rumor, and King Arlan is forced to reconcile history with the future if Enesfel is to maintain stability throughout the Five Sovereignties.As Enesfel prepares for war, Kavan is pulled from his King's side by a frantic race against destiny to protect the lives of innocent children...for only Kavan has any hope of thwarting the path the Sight has stretched out before him...while bringing him face to face with a secret buried in Elyri 's antiquity and opening a portal perhaps better left closed.

The villagers of Ste Marie sur Canut have a problem.But not as big of a problem as the Allied soldiers detained in Stalag 31 under the guardianship of Oberfuhrer von Hausen and his officers.The problems boil down to trust and power: who has it, and who does not. Who can manipulate it and who can undermine it.Cut off from the leadership in Berlin, assigned to a yearlong posting at this backwater Stalag for what amounts to guard duty, Von Hausen does his best to make the most of the hand the Reich has dealt him, accepting the post because he believes this appointment is the best thing for his beautiful, troubled Jenny-wren. He never counted on Clara, or the men he was assigned to guard, burrowing beneath his skin in ways that threaten his command at every turn.Sturmbahnfuhrer Stetcher may, undoubtedly, be the greatest threat of all. To everyone...if von Hausen cannot deduce his plans in time.The men behind the barbed wire, strong men, brave men, fight night and day for survival...determined to beat the odds, find a way out of hell, rebuild their lives. Surely they don't deserve to die for their misfortunes...or their determination to live...if only they could content themselves with following orders...If only this damned war would end and they could all go home alive...

The path spred before Kavan, to undo an ancient wrong and cleanse away the primordial evil seething at the heart of Enesfel, at the heart of an Teren-Elyi conflict that had boiled for centuries, meant going back. Going home. Facing the pain he had tried to forget. Facing the adoration the healing of his hands would certainly generate.Facing Princess Diona again.He did not feel ready. He did not want to go. But K rahm had bid it, and Kavan knew there was no thwarting destiny.Unsure of what awaited him, unsure what the Heretic-Saint's commission would lead him to, be it victory or death, Kavan accepted the inevitable and began the arduous journey back to Rhidam, back to family and friends, back to himself with Wortham at his side in a desperate race against a deadline he could not foresee.With that evil dogging him at every turn, the young Lachlan King fighting to find his footing in an adult world he felt ill-prepared for, and Rhidam struggling for its very survival against the taint of the Elyri-hating Corylliens, Kavan could not know if he would arrive in time to do what history demanded of him.Or if there would be anything left of the world he had known, those he loved the most, if he did.He had to succeed. He did not believe Rhidam, or the Lachlans, or the Elyri in Enesfel would survive another year if he failed.

The murders of Roland Marrock and Jonni Channon have opened old wounds and revealed new secrets. Accused of their deaths, inheriting a Pack that now depends on her for leadership, Jia's only choice is to return to them and leave those secrets for others to unveil. But there is still one duty she swore to that has not yet been fulfilled. Can Jia find and bring her best friend back to the pack, as she failed to do for her father, before the avalanche of secrets destroys LaGuardia, before it comes around to haunt, and hunt, her too?

The Club of Spades was real.Rhyd held the proof in his hand. One simple coin, a spade crossed with swords embossed upon it.It was more than proof of the Club. The battered piece of metal was proof that the Core, too, was real. It was proof that, within that rumored Core, Skelter had survived. Skelter was alive.Now, as Hebanthe Falls struggles to regain balance beneath the competing weights of the newness of Outside and the brako eating at her from within, it was up to the Scarecrow to set aside his war with the brako to find the Core, find a way to set Skelter free.Before the thirty-day pact with the death ran its course.Before the brako brought the city to its knees.

The Corylliens refused to die.Despite Kavan's purification of the ancient chapel, the controversial election of a Teren k'gdhededh in Rhidam allows the cult to persist, plaguing Elyri and Teren alike. As the death toll rises. the hunt for the elusive Anri Heward, and anyone else behind the festering anti-Elyri hatred, pushes forward.Longing to settle into a serene life of music and family in Bhryell, the problems in Enesfel should no longer be Kavan's concern. But Enesfel's violence spills into Elyri on the heels of k'gdhededh D r myr's unanticipated, controversial, long overdue first visit to Rhidam...a visit with the potential to destroy every step Enesfel has taken towards peace. The high-profile murder that follows reluctantly drags Kavan into a frantic pursuit through history, secrets, and shadow, to piece together the puzzle of murder before the backlash it creates rips the Faith and the Sovereignties apart, kills people he loves, or results in his own excommunication......or death.

Haythem Kemway must be found.Scarecrow, struggling against his injuries, is on the hunt.In the aftermath of the Core's breach, the search is underway for a kidnapper, a terrorist, a killer. Bugorra, brako, and Talkers alike seek what they hope will return stability to the City in the Four Falls.Though none agree on what that is.With buried secrets unleashed and the lure of Outside seeping deeper into Hebenon's pores, the fragile peace won after the Coup is threatened. Scarecrow does not know if he has the strength to fight the forces threatening those he loves, those waging war for control.Not even Scarecrow knows if restoring Founder Kemway will be enough to prevent Hebanthe Falls from collapsing beneath her own weight and devouring the majority of mankind.There is no choice. Scarecrow has to try. Or Hebenon will fall into ruin.

War with Neth.Again.War between mother and daughter that Kavan struggles to unravel despite the portents of blood and fire the Sight persistently reveals. War that encourages him to continue seeking a way to return gdh ll n to Raebh while he balances responsibilities to his subjects, his family, and the beleaguered royal family. War that prompts the need for a haven for the relics, books, and lives contained within the halls of St. K r hm's in case his negotiations for peace fail.The Yellow Sisters had dealt Alberni a heavy blow, as it had throughout the Sovereignties, creating an unavoidable demand on his time. As Kavan is hindered by duty, the knowledge of Gate creation remains frustratingly elusive. A moment of desperate inspiration, however, prompts a long-avoided pilgrimage in the hopes of obtaining asylum for the treasures of St. K r hm's, in the hopes of learning what he needs to protect his son. Instead, an echo from his past provides a revelation that exposes the inevitability of prophecy, war, and the role he is destined to play in both.For a forgotten shadow stalks him, menacing not only him but the fragile concord between realms...and his youngest son. Despite K r hm's warnings, despite the aspiration for peace, Kavan knows his path is set.He must find a way to return gdh ll n to Raebh . He must find the threat that casts this shadow, uproot it, and destroy it.Before it destroys him and everyone he loves.
