King's Champion
Artesans of Albia, #2
By Cas Peace
Publication Date: August 1, 2012
From publisher's website:
After surviving brutal torture and escaping from Lord Rykan’s dungeons,
Major Sullyan is trapped in Andaryon, too injured to cross the Veils.
Slowly dying and determined to find some purpose in the shattered
remains of her life, she travels to the Andaryan capitol to offer the
Hierarch her sword and Artesan gifts in the fight against Rykan and his
vast army. Because women hold no power in Andaryon, Sullyan is met with
prejudice, hostility, and suspicion.
Before she can seek vengeance on the field of battle, she must prove
herself to the Hierarch’s generals. Finding support from the unlikeliest
sources, Sullyan sets a plan into motion to defeat Lord Rykan and end
his bid for the throne. The fate of two realms depends on her success,
but her strength is fading fast and time is running out.
I absolutely loved King's Envoy, so I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of King's Champion. I mean I love it in a "I want to role-play and write fanfiction in the world" way. If you like fantasy of the sort of Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar series, then you will likely like Cas Peace's Artesans of Albia.
What's your "waiting on" pick?
