The Shadow Within
(Legends of the Guardian-King, volume two)
Abramm Kalladorne returns to Kiriath to claim the crown he
thought he would never wear and to prepare his people for
the inevitable attack of the Armies of the Black Moon.
Though fiercely opposed by his own kin and reluctant to
thrust his country into civil war at the worst possible
time, he nevertheless believes this course of action is
Kiriath’s only hope of salvation.
In the midst of this turmoil, a headstrong princess from a
neighboring realm endeavors to uncover Abramm's
secrets—including his heroic exploits as the White Pretender
and the fact that he wears a golden shield upon his chest.
Her interference threatens to destroy any chance he has of
maintaining his rightful place as king.
Against a backdrop of somber council meetings and back-alley
sword fights, of magnificent ballrooms and windswept
mountain fortresses, plots and counterplots unfold as old
alliances dissolve and new ones form. If he is to succeed,
Abramm must come to terms with his own limitations—and the
sufficiency of the one who controls his destiny.

The Light of Eidon
(Legends of the Guardian-King, volume one)
Eldrin has devoted the last eight years of his life toward
making himself worthy to touch and tend the Sacred Flames of
Eidon, and he expects to be blessed for his sacrifices.
However, on the eve of taking the vows that will irrevocably
separate him from his previous life as Abramm Kalladorne,
fifth son of the king of Kiriath, he is betrayed by his
spiritual mentor and sold into slavery by his own family.
Soon Abramm is swept along by the winds of a new destiny as
his successes in the gladiatorial games transform him into a
hero around whom the oppressed masses can rally, and he
discovers his suffering has molded him into something
greater than he ever thought possible--to serve a purpose he
never imagined.

world and into a perilous battle between good and evil. With
limited resources and only a few cryptic words to guide her,
Callie embarks on a life-changing journey. Will she decipher
the plans the Benefactor has established for her escape, or
will she succumb to the deception of the Arena?
