The Fire Within Them

For the first time in a millennium, the kingdom of Khalad is divided. The Battle of Athenoch has fanned the spark of Bashar Vallant´s rebellion to a raging flame. Tyzanta, jewel of the east, has declared for his cause, and other cities have followed. Vallant, the people´s hero, may soon be powerful enough to challenge Caradan Diar, Khalad´s immortal king. But such power demands great personal sacrifice. Afflicted with omen rot after channeling the Deadwinds to save Athenoch from the koilos army, Kat searches for a means to stop the disease killing her as it did her mother. Her journey will uncover secrets long since buried--secrets concerning her past, her family and the kingdom itself. Eventually she´ll learn that the past never stays buried in Khalad--and that the truth can cut deeper than any blade.
