Award winning author J.M. Kearl brings to you the second book in the RISE series. The enemy king is dead. The war to free magic is here. Daelyn risked life, love, everything to free her father from prison. Now hunted by the new King of Hesstia, she, warrior Boaden, and her father are forced to flee into the outlaw land of Nordia for safety. With bandits thirsting for the price on Daelyn’s head, and the king's men in pursuit, they find the journey home even more dangerous than they could have imagined. As if the perils from the enemy weren’t enough, Daelyn’s new found magic might be powerful but if she can't gain control of it, she'll be more of a hazard than help in the fight to free magic. Swords clash, magic explodes, and battles erupt in the war the kingdom of Delhoon wanted, but when the enemy king acquires an advantage no one was expecting, Delhoon’s magic and combat prowess might not be enough to win this war.
