Seventeen years have passed since the Necromancer Queen Talia was overthrown and slain, and her capital city destroyed by the Knights of the Order of Eternal Vigilance. Anskar DeVantte, raised in the sacred disciplines of the Order, is now ready to face the brutal initiation trials to become a consecrated knight-sorcerer.

As Anskar pieces together the mysteries of his early life, and begins to understand the malevolent forces gathering in his path, he finds himself with a crucial choice to make: Remain loyal to the Order’s righteous mission, or control the dark powers growing within him.

Book excerpt: A corrupted power stirs from beyond the grave. The Necromancer Queen will rise again. In the wake of the rebel Niyandrians’ abduction attempt, Anskar DeVantte, now a knight-inferior of the Order of Eternal Vigilance, has set sail with the Grand Master, bound for the mother house in Sansor. Anskar has already begun to suspect that the Order’s holy convictions aren’t as pure as they appear, and his doubts are confirmed when the ship detours to the slave markets of Atya. As the Grand Master gathers an expedition to retrieve an ancient artifact from an unearthed ruin, Anskar finds himself torn between the holy path he is committed to and the grasping hands of those who wish to use his unique power: the Grand Master; the rebel leader, Carred Selenas; and even the Necromancer Queen herself. When a depraved rot is exposed at the heart of the Order, Anskar is forced to confront the growing power of the dusk- and dark-tides within himself, and find a balance that won’t see him damned in the eyes of his god. But can a lowly knight-sorcerer resist his instincts to obey his superiors’ in the Order, and fight the pull of Queen Talia’s corrupted influence from beyond the grave? The true danger is greater than even the Order realizes, and soon Anskar must decide who he can trust, and what he is willing to risk in order to carve out his own destiny, protect the world, and perhaps the fate of all Niyandrians.

Download or read book A Wicked Wind written by Kat Ross and published by Kat Ross. This book was released on 2024-11-25 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the icy citadel of Magnus the Merciless, every day is exactly the same. By night, his mortifex court raise cups of gold at an enchanted feast. By dawn, they sail off to plunder the ships ferrying souls across the Cold Sea to the afterlife. How hard could it be to rescue three prisoners from Magnus’s clutches? Cas and Lo have the Wind-Witch to carry them beyond the Veil, along with the posh necromancer Nathan Ouvrard and a stabby mercenary who claims to work for the goddess of death. Cas even brought a magic staff to vanquish mortifexes. It looks promising — until an ill-advised riddle contest kicks off a run of bad luck that just keeps getting worse. Lo blames herself. She’s caught in the Quickening, the end stage of a Shadow Soul, and forces greater than Magnus want her dead for good. With time running out, she and Cas must outfox the Fates themselves — or lose the people dearest to them both forever. Back in Galatia, the embittered mortifex Lucius finds himself being gaslighted by an eleven-year-old girl. Is Beatriu a Machiavellian prodigy who murdered her five siblings to gain the throne, or simply a tragic victim? The answer matters, since Lucius himself is the dowry in a splashy wedding between Beatriu and Enrigo Redvayne. Linking them all is the Grand Menotte, a weapon that blurs the line between life and death — and could tip both realms into chaos.
