About this series
Sometimes the Giver gives, and sometimes the Taker takes.
On the Borderlands, Kaellor and Reddevek reunite, but their plans to thwart Tarkannen already face several obstacles. Before returning to Stone's Grasp, they must determine if it is possible to reconcile with Savnah and Dexxin's treasonous affiliation with the Lacuna. Laryn offers a plan to mitigate the damage the circle breakers have sewn in the kingdom, but Kaellor wonders if her solution is more risky than a wager with the Taker. Despite the dangers, they lift their eyes to the horizon and press on toward Callinora.
In Stone's Grasp, the regent, Therek Lefledge, cultivates unusual resources to combat the growing Lacuna menace. He relies on the steadfast counsel of Vice Regent Chancle Lellendule and presses Ksenia Balladuren into clandestine service. Their reactions to the ever-increasing political pressures will shape the kingdom's future, for better or worse.
Warden Reddevek enjoys the company of his ward, Ranika. He protects her secret and comes to rely on her growing power. But she is just one of the abrogators gaining strength on Karsk.
Volencia coordinates with a unique umbral, the shamans of the Brognaus clan, and even grondle to see her dark plans come together.
Can the royal family and those loyal to the old ways stop Tarkannen before he breaks free from his confinement in the Drift? Even if they contain the rise of the abrogators, can they survive the tensions that threaten to destroy the kingdom from within?

"Eyes to the horizon," were the last words the king had spoken to his wife before the abrogator channeled dark power and murdered them both. Their deaths activated an enchantment that concealed the identity of their two sons and allowed the king's brother, Kaellor, to escape with the heirs to the Southlands. For twelve years, Kaellor raises the boys in relative anonymity. Without explanation, the barrier concealing their identity frays. The abrogators renew their hunt, and the three begin a journey fraught with otherworldly dangers. How will they react to the trappings of destiny? What hope do two teenagers and a middle-aged map maker have against those aligned with the forces of the underworld? When you strip everything from a man not once but twice, what are the limits to his vengeance? Far to the north, Karragin ascends to leadership among the elite paramilitary group known as the Outriders. Political intrigue threatens her family at every step.

Fate binds her to the others, but first, she must survive trials at the summit of the Korjinth Mountains. Enter book 1 of the Rune Fire Cycle.

He uses the time to train with the sword, to understand his wolvryn companion and something of his place in the world. In Aarindorn, Karragin leads Outriders on missions against grotvonen. But something else lurks among the hordes under the mountains, something that hints at the resurgence of an evil thought long ago vanquished. Not all challenges rise from the arcane.
