Book Description
Abruptly from the sidelines came a melodious voice, “You’re mistaken, Lord Nan. It’s not Lord Shar you will be meeting. Your fight will be with me.” Angelique stepped out from the crowd in full battle armor, holding twin short swords. “I am Lady Shar and, therefore, champion to my betrothed. According to the Articles of Challenge, set in year ten of Emperor Cunver’s reign, either one or the other or both can choose a champion. I will always be my betrothed’s champion, as he is mine. Fight me, kufar” (“baby killer” in Sungari) “or surrender!” The crowd gasped in shock. The word meant “unbeliever” in Arabic, but unknowingly, she had used the only insult that Nan could not ignore nor could he choose a champion. No other warrior would interfere in this fight. It was a matter of Honor. “I will kill you, trum, and then I will kill all of you squirms! You have no business existing in the Sungari Empire! Your interference has been tolerated enough. Stand and fight, then!” Wounded killing a traitor, Paul was forced to sit on the sidelines as Angelique defended the Honor of the Clan. Once again, Clan Shar might be on the brink of destruction.

Pages : 418
Book Description
Devlin of Duncaer is the Chosen One, champion of the Kingdom of Jorsk. A simple metalsmith and farmer turned warrior, he has become the most unlikely of heroes to the conquerors of his own people, the Caerfolk. Yet there is a growing faction of Jorskians who believe that if he were truly anointed as Chosen One by the Gods, then the immortals would have given him the Sword of Light as proof of his calling. Missing for generations, the sword is more myth than reality. But Devlin knows where to find it. Lost in battle after the Jorskians’ brutal massacre of Caerfolk, it has remained in Duncaer, a souvenir of one of the land’s darkest days. Feeling more than ever a pawn of fate—and a plaything of the Gods who drive him—Devlin must return to the land of his birth, back to the people who have denounced him. For he is bound by an oath he has no choice but to obey...a promise he may have to die to keep.
