The Shattered Path
Destroying the portals between worlds was supposed to force the entity out of Rale. Instead, it's trapped him there.
But this has cut Nolost off from much of his power, buying some time to try to stop him from annihilating the world. Dante and Blays' last hope lies in finding someone or something called the Burdan rah Saylan. Knowing nothing about the Burdan except for their name, they travel far to the east into lands they've never heard of.
There, they discover that the Burdan are a secret order founded by a god thousands of years ago. They wield the mithir, an unknown form of sorcery developed to kill Beyonders, who Nolost is using as his army—and this power might even be able to kill Nolost himself.
Training in the mithir might well kill them. But with all other hopes exhausted, Dante, Blays, and Gladdic race to harness its power before the entity can finish bringing Rale to its end.
But the entity's been hunting them all along. He knows what they've been doing. And he means to kill them before they've gained the strength to fight back.
The Shattered Path is the second-to-last book in the Cycle of Galand. The final novel will be released later this summer.

Edward W. Robertson
When Edward W. Robertson writes, he doesn't just build worlds—he watches them burn and rise again. From crumbling civilizations in his Breakers series to the epic, war-torn landscapes of The Cycle of Arawn and The Cycle of Galand, his work pulses with tension, grit, and the kind of moral complexity that keeps readers up long past midnight.
Robertson first emerged on the fantasy and science fiction scene with a quiet but deliberate presence. That presence soon erupted into a million books sold, a USA Today bestseller title, and accolades including Audie and Voice Arts Award nominations. But behind the numbers is a writer who has never shied away from asking the hard questions: What happens when the world ends? What does power cost? And can redemption survive in the aftermath?
The Cycle of Galand
