Leading those true to his quest, they storm straight into the dark realm of Ta Oandimn where the swarming hordes of evil souls who reside there are just about to make Braulor a permanent resident. Elated at having found his brother, they only need to escape and they can finsh the their journey to find the Amber Eye. But it doesn't take long for Tagan to realize that getting out of Ta Oandimn is going to be much trickier than it seems. With the chairs at the table shifting, Grawton finds himself in the place he always longed to be. For Grawton, the position of power he had dreamt of for so long he couldn't remember, has fallen into his lap. But power corrupts and Grawton is no saint. With a little taste under his belt, he wants more power. One can't stop when they want it all and from his perch in the shadowy realm it seems the world is there for his taking. Stripped of everything he knew, the Shadowkeeper intends to be the spanner in the works. He has no choice in the matter. By his own hand came his undoing and by his own hand will come his salvation. Stuck in the awkward position of being prisoner instead of warden, the Shadowkeeper knows his options are limited. Almost as limited as his hope. But where there is hope, there is a chance and the Shadowkeeper knows he must act with the precision of a high wire walker if he hopes to ascend to power once again. With everybody looking for answers and all the cards on the table, the answers are still far and few between. It's dawning on everyone that recent events only closed the latest chapter. There are still many pages to be written before the book is complete. How it was going to end was anybody's guess. Circumstances set in motion far back in the reaches of time have given each a destiny to fulfill. Now each must follow the path they are on, blinded to what lies ahead. But for every plot, for every machination, there is always a flip side. A dynamic element that can come out of nowhere and foil even the best laid plans. There is one contingency out there that no one planned on. One event that none of the major player could have have seen coming and nobody could have fathomed the decisive blow to everything it would deliver. The nuclear level strike that will turn everything on its head. And She is coming...

Without Premoran, the essences of the ancient Lalas trees will be lost forever. While the Twins prepare to embark on their separate quests for the Gem of Eternity, another rises to aid the Lalas. Her name is Tamara, a Sister of Parth. Trained in the mustical mysteries, though unaware of the true extent of her power, she alone can traverse the Hollows – those empty spaces between life and death – to retrieve the eleventh shard , without which the Twins’ quest if doomed to fail. “For the first time in a long time, I lost myself in someone else’s creation. We all remember fondly the words we grew up reading, be they Narnia, Middle Earth or Lankhmar. Mythical places that shaped our imaginations and our creative minds, became a part of who we are. In these book we were unfettered, free to dream, to strive, to escape the mundane world that would hold us prisoner. That is the storytelller’s greatest gift. Gary Alan Wassner has that gift.” --Steve Savile, author of the Ogmios Short Novels series, the Jack Stone Thrillers and the Salley Reardon Supernatural Mysteries “Many authors fall short with their sequels, but Wassner keeps the story going, bringing new elements into the mix.” --Dag Rambraut, owner of ssfworld.com

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time in one volume, the two novels that began the epic tale of the Essalieyanese empire. Hunter's Oath When the covenant was made with the Hunter God, all who dwelt in Breodanir swore to abide by it. The Hunter Lords--and the hunting dogs to which their minds were attuned--would seek out game in the God's woods to provide food for their people, and the Hunter God would ensure that the Hunters, the land, and the people prospered. But in payment, once a year the Sacred Hunt must be called, the God's own Hunt in which the prey became one of the Lords, or his huntbrother--the companion chosen from the common folk to remind each Lord of his own ties to humanity. It was the Oath pledged in blood by Gilliam of Elseth and the orphan boy Stephen--and the fulfillment of that Oath would lead them to the kind of destiny from which legends were made.... Hunter's Death Averalaan, that most ancient of cities, had long been the home of magics both dark and bright. For the site where this most civilized city of mortals new stood had once been a dread place indeed, a citadel of evil ruled by the Lord of Hell. Only through the greatest of sacrifices had he been cast back into his own dimension. But now, trouble was once again stirring in the hidden byways of Averalaan. Blessed or cursed by their Hunter God and gifted with his most unique creation, the Hunter Lord Gilliam and his huntbrother Stephen were about to do the unthinkable. Guided by the seer Yvaine, they would journey beyond the borders of their kingdom, something no Hunter Lord had ever done. For only in Averalaan could they find their true destiny, even if it meant facing the Dark Lord himself....
