The Chronicles of Wetherid II: Volume 2 - The Guardians of the Seven Artifacts

By: Dölder, Christian

Epic high fantasy from Austria: shattering realms, dark alliances and the war before the first battleNo armies march yet, but in Fallgar, Astinhod and the Nordland, the decisions have been made.

Xaroth's influence grows. Beneath the volcanoes of Fallgar, the orc shaman Gorzod Greywing holds his alliance together by force. Gray Dwarves, Mist Elves, Ogres and Undead arm themselves for the coming war. Every ruler pursues his own goals. None trusts the other.

While this alliance takes shape, the free peoples begin to falter. In Astinhod, political unity shatters. Betrayal and murder shift the balance of power. The siege by Grand Duke Aldion intensifies. From the mist swamps of Marnog Jar, Prince Sylvian extends his grip over the elven peoples - through blackmail, violence and a plan that reaches far beyond Fallgar.

Beyond the great realms, pressure mounts as well. In the desert of DeShadin, a mass exodus of the Kajirs begins. In the Nordland, the feuding clans swear an oath against the outer threat, though old grudges endure.

Gorathdin and his companions continue their search for the seven artefacts. In the tunnels of Ingar, they are drawn into a conflict deep within the realm of the Gray Dwarves. In the mist moor of Marnog Jar, Prince Sylvian waits with a trap that changes everything.

Volume 2 shows how realms collapse long before the first battle is fought.

Uncompromising epic fantasy without romantasy: political power plays, fragile alliances, old feuds, betrayal, war preparations and decisions with irreversible consequences.
