The Alchemy of Treason

By Peter Nealen

Friends. Foes. Where is the Line?

Conor and his fellow Recon Marines return from their quest for the Sword of Categym only to find the Galel kingdom of Cor Legear under siege. The forces of the mighty Empire of Ar-Annator mass on the frontier, while the Marines must fight their way through enemy-held territory to reach friendly lines. But survival is only the beginning.

When a vicious assassination attempt leaves King Uven gravely wounded, traitorous elements among his own retainers move to seize the throne. A deeper, darker sorcerous conspiracy is at work--one long planned by the Empire and the foul powers they serve. In a land of ice, monsters, and ancient betrayals, mundane treachery carries eternal consequences.

Outnumbered, out-supplied, and cut off, the battle-hardened Marines and their Galel allies must adapt on the fly--blending modern tactics and firepower with the brutal realities of a world steeped in dark magic. Loyalties are tested, lines blur between friend and foe, and the fate of an entire kingdom hangs in the balance as darkness threatens to engulf Cor Legear.

The Alchemy of Treason is the gripping fifth installment in Peter Nealen's acclaimed military fantasy series The Lost.
