OverviewA storm brews on the horizon, a harbinger of the dark times to come. In Volume 2 of The Death Wizard Chronicles, the unforgiving world of Triken is thrown into chaos as magic stirs from its long slumber and the darkness no longer hides in the shadows. But amidst the turmoil, a powerful Death-Knower named Torg stands tall, drawing his strength from death itself. Alongside him is Laylah, sister to the dark sorcerer Invictus, whose growing power threatens to consume the entire realm. As Laylah undergoes a brutal, soul-altering transformation, the two must navigate a world unraveling around them - hunted by monstrous foes, betrayed by unlikely allies, and stalked by sinister forces beyond their understanding. As war drums thunder and the monstrous general Mala amasses his strength, the fate of Triken hangs in the balance. But with heroes who are scarred, outmatched, and nearly broken, is there any hope left for the realm? From sky-dwelling eagles and secretive druids to cursed cities and shapeshifters cloaked in myth, Volume 2 of The Death Wizard Chronicles takes readers on a sweeping journey of magic, madness, and survival. For fans of Tolkien's depth, Sanderson's danger, and Jordan's grit, this dark fantasy series is not to be missed.
