Trials of the Starborn: Book Two of the Veins of Power

The gods have returned to Gwald, wounded and afraid. In the ashes of Belmouth, Canthorn wrestles with the power that burns inside him and the memories that refuse to die. The Church lies in ruins, its priests scattered, its idols broken, but the price of victory has left the survivors hollow. Daese, the exile who once hunted him, now walks beside him in uneasy alliance. Alrix, the builder of strange machines, laughs to keep his grief at bay. Lunelle, child of both mortal and divine, searches the Blood Forest for the meaning of her name. Beneath the veins of the world, something ancient wakes. The shadow once called the Night God spreads through the broken cities, whispering to the lost and the damned. And far away, among white flowers and the scent of poison, Fiona opens her eyes. Once the terror of Belmouth and Canthorn’s lost love, she rises again, caught between life, memory, and vengeance. As the light of the old world fades, the Starborn are tested by love, madness, and the ruin they left behind. The trials have begun, and not all will survive them. View Less
