On February 3rd, The Raven’s Cry can be heard! That date marks the e-book release for the second instalment in Daniel E. Olesen’s epic fantasy series, The Chronicles of Adalmearc. The e-book will be available as a free download from his website, just as the first book already is.
Civil war and foreign invasion are tearing the Realms apart. The Order, severely outnumbered, faces an impossible task in driving the outlanders back across the long wall. The knights have only one hope – the young commander Brand, who must surpass his military feats from last year if there is to be victory.
While the knights battle the incursion, the jarls of Vale and Isarn continue their protracted war to rule Adalrik. Through siege and open battles, they fight over each field and village between their jarldoms, devastating the land.
Both sides make schemes, gathering more allies and fighting new enemies. Like bloody fire, war spreads from one realm to the next as kings, clans, and commoners become entangled in civil strife. And with every life lost, every region ravaged, the Order loses further support in the fight against the outlanders.
Across the Realms, the raven’s cry is heard, and war will follow.
