About this audiobook
Commander Vashnar plans to overthrow Arvenstaat's government and restore the brutal rule of the Dictators. But when his messenger Thyrn—a young Caddoran with near-telepathic sensitivity—reads the murder in his master's thoughts, he flees in terror. Pursued into the forbidding Karpas Mountains by Vashnar's elite Tervaidin, Thyrn and his small band of protectors become pawns in a far deadlier game.
For something ancient waits in those peaks, something that has found in Vashnar the perfect instrument for its return. Only Thyrn can sense this creeping evil, but he is no warrior—just a frightened young man whose gift is more curse than blessing. Against Vashnar's growing power and the darkness that drives him, what chance do six fugitives have?
A gripping standalone thriller of pursuit and possession in the world of The Chronicles of Hawklan.
