An ancient power calls for release. An ancient promise must be fulfilled. An ancient warrior is reborn. Finally free of those pursuing them, Calum and his friends cross the vast wasteland separating the east from the west in search of a hidden realm known as the Arcanum. There, they hope to find the answers to setting Lumen, the General of Light, free so he can liberate the world of Kanarah from its oppressive King. Finding the Arcanum is hard, but reaching it in time will prove nearly impossible. Plagued by flying rebels, pirates, and ruthless Saurian elites, the group struggles to survive, much less draw nearer to their goal. Worse yet, dangerous secrets harbored by some in their group threaten to fracture them from within, risking both their lives and their mission. With aid from unlikely sources, the group stands firm against troubles of all kinds, both internal and external, and they endure endless battles that leave lasting scars on their bodies and in their hearts. But time is running out—for them and for Lumen. Will Calum and his friends reach the Arcanum and discover the way to unlock Lumen’s ancient power? Can they resist their enemies long enough to release him from his prison? Or will it all come at too high a cost? The Way of Ancient Power is the second book in the exhilarating Call of Ancient Light coming-of-age fantasy series. It’s perfect for readers of author Will Wight’s stories, the Harry Potter books, and the Percy Jackson saga. Read this book and continue this thrilling adventure today.
Author
At the age of nine, Ben Wolf slayed his first dragon. As the dragon perished, it bequeathed a measure of its power to Ben. It told him, "You now have the ability to lie more creatively than any other being on this planet—except for politicians. Use this power wisely." The dragon died with one final puff of smoke from its lungs, but Ben Wolf lived on. For years, Ben honed his craft. At the age of twelve, he lied to his sister about having thrown darts at a poster of her favorite boy band. At the age of sixteen, he lied to a policeman who'd pulled him over for speeding, and it got him out of a ticket. At the age of eighteen, he lied to himself about what a good decision it was to go to Bible college and major in Pastoral Studies (that one has come back to haunt him several times). Given the unique power he'd inherited from the dying dragon, Ben Wolf had expected his life to look very different from how it did when he turned twenty-three. Then the dragon's words regarding his power returned to him: "Use this power wisely." The truth was, Ben hadn't been using the magnificent power wisely. He'd been using it for personal gain, and to dig himself out of bad situations (or, in the case of Bible college, to get himself into them). So he asked himself, "What would be a wise way to use this power?" At that very moment, a bus drove past the street in front of him. On its side was emblazoned the phrase, "You should write a novel!" Having graduated from Bible college a year earlier, Ben took it as a divine message. What's more, he'd already written one novel at that point, and he'd enjoyed it, so he figured he might as well write a few more. That was 2009. Now, more than ten years later, Ben has written north of ten books, including an award-winning children's book and an award-winning novel. Awards are great, but what Ben has found even more reassuring is the consistently great feedback he's gotten from readers. They've raved about his work and told him he was the best, most creative liar they'd ever heard of. So now Ben is on the cusp of making serious headway with his lying skills. His debut fantasy saga, the Blood Mercenaries series of dark/epic/sword & sorcery novels, is raking in tons of stellar reviews from readers everywhere. And now you can be a part of his creative lying journey. If you've read Ben Wolf's work, love him as a person, or plain old just think he's a handsome guy (he is, and he is now making it known that it wasn't him who wrote this (but it was actually him)), then please review his books here and on Amazon.com. Ben, who we swear didn't write this, thanks you.
