The Shadow Warrior : 9781609752316

Bence Brechenhad is the sole survivor of the infamous
Aeonian army. His fear of Deranian justice drives him
to flee the country, abandoning his only companion,
Queen Isabel, without so much as a good-bye. Bence
leaves with Isabel's ring and a black pearl with one
goal in mind: to find a new home and a fresh start.

Throughout his adventures over rough seas and
maze-like woods, the sins of his past lurk around
every corner. When Bence reaches the country of
Irelle, he rescues a baby Dunya, jeopardizing his
chances of acceptance into their clan.

Meanwhile, Isabel tries to fulfill her new role as
queen. She is fully invested in rebuilding her
kingdom, and funds her people's short-lived peace
until a man she thought was dead and a banished
Healer appear on her steps.

Their arrival seems to prompt a string of murders
cascading through Deran. Each victim is branded
with the Aeonian mark, and Isabel's kingdom is
inevitably sucked back into a vortex of violence
and turmoil.

The winds whisper to Bence, calling him back to
Deran. Will he have the courage to confront his
past and fight alongside Isabel once more?
