Maialen: The Keepers of Imbria Book 2

A world on the edge of chaos. An ancient evil awakened. A family torn apart.

It has been ten years since the fateful battle of Queen's End, where the death of a beloved ruler changed the world forever. Imbria teeters on the brink of destruction. Maialen, the Earth Keeper and Queen of Kymir, has become the most powerful person in the world and is the only one who seems to be holding the realms together. The tenuous peace she has fostered is threatened by war, famine, plague, and the return of her sister's missing child, who many believe to be the fabled Solvrei, the savior who will lead them out of the darkness. To Maialen, he is a burden that she did not ask for and he seems more like a deranged and damaged little boy than anyone's savior, his mind having been twisted by the mysterious and shadowy Harbonah.

The Earth Keeper's desperate quest to save the other realms and untangle the mystery around her sister's child leads her to awaken an ancient enemy, one that will unite the savage Fomori and will stop at nothing to see the Keepers and their amulets destroyed. Now, Maialen must forge new alliances with old enemies and navigate the deception and lies of her family and friends to find a way to stop what is coming. She must decide whether she believes the prophecies of the Solvrei or if her sister's child poses a greater threat to Imbria than she could have imagined.
