Synopsis

"A fast-paced epic fantasy thrill-ride filled with action-packed battles, compelling mysteries, and unforeseen betrayals."Some Things Must Never Be Forgotten Over 400 years ago, twelve great warriors united the beleaguered armies of men and scoured the war-torn lands of evil, pushing the enemy back into the underground pits and caverns from whence they came. To ensure their legacy, each of the Twelve founded fortress monasteries to impart their unique knowledge of war and politics to a select few, the Knights of the Twelve.But now the last of the Twelve have long since passed from history to legend and the Knights, their numbers dwindling, are harbouring a dark and terrible secret that must be protected at all costs.Merad Reed has spent half his life guarding a great crater known as the Pit, yearning for some escape from the bleak monotony. Then the arrival of Aldarin, one of the few remaining Knights of the Twelve, sets off a chain of cataclysmic events that will change Reed forever.To the north, Jelaïa del Arelium, heiress to the richest of the nine Baronies, must learn to navigate the swirling political currents of her father’s court if she hopes one day to take his place. But the flickering flames of ambition hide the shadow of an even greater threat.And deep within the earth, something is stirring.

Over 400 years ago emerged beasts from the depths. An order of knights led armies of men to drive them back. The creatures have returned. Arelium turns to their protectors of the past…but much has changed in the order…and not for the better. Great battles!......more

Goodreads review by Brian on June 27, 2021

If you’re looking for epic fantasy, this book has it all. First and foremost, at its core, lies a fully-imagined world, one that informs every aspect of the story, while never becoming obtrusive or obvious. Next up it’s a lively cast of characters, some minor, some mythic, each one delineated in fine......more
