The lungs of the kingdom are constricted.
Lafret is the most exquisite city in Artnaus—glistening waterfalls, hanging gardens, and stone-carved houses on canyon walls. But under this mask of splendor is a seething world of strict order and despair.
Torn from their village home, the Ganwins must quest to save their patriarch. But the old man’s past isn’t ready to be buried. They are taken prisoner by the chieftain of the waterfall canyon and forced into his service.
Will brothers Marl and Natsir have the courage to navigate foreign chiefdoms and ancient prophecies? Can they stand together when the time comes to let everything fall?
The second installment in the Realm of Light series!
