Beyond the Veil with the Sacred Band of Stepsons

Free of Sanctuary, the Sacred Band of Stepsons rides into Tyse, below Wizardwall, and learns first hand to be careful what you wish for. In a darker, war-torn town full of preternatural forces, rival military contingents, power struggles and legendary sorcerers, Tempus and the Sacred Band of Stepsons fight to keep Nisibis free. Never have the loyalties of the Band to one another and to their commander been so sorely tested. Lives and loves are on the line for the Band in this second 'Beyond' novel. New characters spice the mix of myth, war-fighting, romance and philosophy that mark the Janet Morris Stepson books. Be warned: the Sacred Band pairs are loyal only to one another and their commander; the ending may surprise you, but as always, this ancient cavalry squadron gave me a great ride.
