Tensions rise in The Scars of Archonia, Book #2 of Ashes and Empires as enemy armies march from the south and a plague of magical beasts ravages the west.

Stuck in the middle are Vander and Cayden, two brothers who grapple with their sudden ascension, and a mother who's a traitor as much as she is a hero.

The Scars of Archonia is a love letter to classic epic fantasy, written for fans of Shannara, The Wheel of Time, and The Bound and the Broken.
