in Progress Book Two of a Five Part Young Adult Epic Fantasy Series: The Sword of Heaven. The Sword of Heaven saga continues. After the fall of the Green Krystahl Temple in Book One: Three Moons Upon a Midnight, the surviving Hylanders escape to Calosia hoping for sanctuary. Instead, Dahn Starei watches her father arrested at the city gates and is thrust from the simple life of a mining village into the dangerous world of royal politics. Far away in Treland, her twin brother Xahn begins training with Tenac and the shade of Ekatern, only to discover that his expanding universe is far stranger than he ever imagined. But Hellsgate is stirring. Nilrem has taken a new body, his demonspawn are spreading terror across Neworld, and M’Randa remains divided into living pieces hidden beyond the sight of the Watchers. As old legends step from myth into history, Dahn and Xahn must learn why they are the true Heirs to the Krystahl. When dim the Mother of the Second Moon shall shine, And faithful daughters turn unto the Crown, Dark hosts descend by phantom’s hidden will. The fallen temples rise through reborn power, While Steel and Lily bind by sorrowed vow; Then shall the Heirs to Krystahl wake to ancient might.
