The Desert’s Son (The Armean Journals)

A NEW DAWN RISES in the wake of King Edgar Visenalia’s suicide. In his place sits a regent whose past is shrouded in secrecy. Her name, Eleonora, is spoken by lords and peasants alike with suspicion, and many remain skeptical of her reign. This division fosters cracks in the nation, allowing other threats to grow. The Sviyali, the people of the desert, have been given a new leader. Chosen by their god and welcomed by their king, he is their Prince, whether they want him or not. In the Chapel of the Divine, a Priestess, devoted to her faith, suffers from haunting visions of an icy tundra that plague her sleep. Living in the eastern capital, she is a witness to the disarray that their new queen brings. Across oceans and continents, the Knight heeds the orders of his own regent. He is tasked with finding the lost heir of Tagar and bringing him home, but his mission does not end there. In the sequel to “The Stranger’s Orphan”, these three join Anastasia, Edrik, Emma, Bianca, and Persius in shaping the future of their world. All the while, Eleonora’s rule could prove disastrous for a nation looming on the brink of war. Her actions might bring about an era of peace… or one of chaos.
