Overview

Sword in hand, Edge searches for answers about the magical blade--and himself--in the second book of this epic adventure set in the Arcane Ascension universe. Having retrieved a legendary weapon from the depths of the Sepulcher of Sealed Swords, Lien--better known as Edge--begins to look into its origins and the strange connection he feels to it. With the blade at his side, he plunges into the depths of a dungeon, hoping to finally prove his worth to his family and friends. After facing a series of dangers and puzzles, he discovers a mysterious encoded tome within a hidden chamber. The room holds hints to his sword's past, but he has precious little time to unlock the weapon's secrets. Because, as the leaders of the fae courts meet for a seasonal event, strangers have come to the Court of Rust and Salt with the goal of claiming Anathema, the sword bound to Edge's dearest friend. Burdened by fae traditions, Edge has only one recourse: to compete in a three-fold trial against a mysterious swordsman with skills and strength that far exceed his own. Each duel will test not only his power and training but also his cunning. For, as always with the fae, nothing is ever exactly as it seems . . . A deadly glade with hidden blades, a flip of fate in fortune's form, and finally, of course, a reckoning of silver and sorcery. To have any hope of success against these challenges, Edge will need to unlock the first of his weapon's secrets--and perhaps a few of those tied to the strange girl who keeps appearing in his dreams. Set within New York Times-bestselling author Andrew Rowe's Arcane Ascension universe and inspired by Japanese manga and role-playing games, Edge of the Dream is the second volume of this epic fantasy series perfect for fans of The Legend of Zelda.
