The Black Shriving (Chronicles of the Black Gate Book 2)

The second book in the epic fantasy series that readers are comparing to Raymond E. Feist and David Gemmell.
After a harrowing battle Lady Kyferin and her stalwart followers have earned themselves a brief respite from Lord Laur's fury. They know, however, that the next assault will be impossible to resist. Their sole hope of survival lies in forging an alliance with the only force capable of resisting the empire's might: the Agerastian heretics themselves.

THE BLACK SHRIVING continues the action-packed new epic fantasy series, following on from THE PATH OF FLAMES - an adrenaline-fuelled debut of sin casting mages, heresy, and cold-blooded betrayal in a land where the deepest buried secrets are finally resurfacing to destroy the world.
