I could cling to hope or hate… That night, I chose hope. But I kept hate close by. Just in case. The second novel in the Harbingers of Agatharr series continues as our heroes converge. Celeste, the Herald of Valitharr, races toward the ancient spellweaver stronghold of Lirathmar. But the divine being who whispers in her mind has been called to stand before the Pantheon, and Celeste worries she won’t survive the journey without him. Caelen, a timid peasant, blames himself for the horrors that have befallen his loved ones and vows never to be paralyzed by fear again. His newfound eagerness finds him in possession of a powerful, ancient ability that threatens to sunder his mind unless he learns to control it. Brynna, a hardened blacksmith, has sworn to protect Caelen and return him to the remnants of his family in Mossby. But in a world cursed with magic, even the simplest task can be marred by danger. Their paths have merged, but how do they trust those they barely know when death lurks in every shadow?
