A Tale of the Rebels: Part One - Flame, Light and Song, #2.1

This is Part One of A Tale of the Rebels, the second book in the Flame, Light and Song series. The story continues in Part Two.

The mythic saga of Elnarin, Enidor and the long war for the eastern world continues.

In Southern Valantas, the people have forgotten the King of Light and sworn fealty to nameless gods who have banished Death itself. The rebels are erased. But the Ancient Forest stirs, harboring a power older than the Dawn of Time — and one rebel captain marches toward the curtain of judgment to save his beloved daughter: a child who sees what others cannot, and whose gift the gods most fear.

"There had once been a time when the flames of hatred were quelled by gentle whispers, when death was a blessing and life a gift; a time when people served not savage and bloody madmen but a wise king. Ledrad felt a wave of solace, as though a call of joy had reached him from somewhere beyond. All was not lost—the escape might be successful. He and his daughter would find refuge beneath the protective eaves of the Ancient Forest, forgetting the merciless gods, the Ethos, and the pain. They would be free, peaceful, and joyful. The feeling was too powerful to be stifled now—too powerful! With his whole being, he immersed himself in it and thought of the king of those bygone days who loved his people. He thought, breathing fervently, and his heart beat faster as hope glowed in his eyes."
