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.

Review: Cas Peace’s King’s Champion, the second book in the Artesans of Albia, is a
must-read for fantasy fans.
With the help of her friends, Major
Sullyan escapes the brutal torture from Lord Rykan’s hands. But trapped in
Andaryon and slowly dying, she finds her purpose to help the Hierarch and
become the King’s Champion in a battle against her foe. But to save two worlds,
it might cost her more than she knows.
King’s
Champion picks up the storyline right after King’s Envoy, which I read a year ago. Peace does a fantastic job
at sprinkling in enough backstory to help a reader jump into book two. New
characters appear along with our old favorites, and I loved how we go deeper
into the world of Andaryon. The setting is amazing and fantastical. The writing
is beautiful and pulls the reader deeper into the story and characters. They
become your friends, and I forgot I was reading a book and not living with
them.
King’s
Champion by Cas Peace builds upon her fantastic fantasy series. At the end,
I screamed, “Nooooo!” and can’t wait to pick up book three.
