Dark Forces Have Gathered and the Final Battle for Illustra Has
Begun
Their journey to Merakh should have made Errol and his companions
heroes of the realm. Instead, they've been branded enemies of the
kingdom.
In the wake of the king's death, Duke Weir is ruling the
country--and he intends to marry Adora to bring an heir from the
royal line. With Errol and the others imprisoned and the identity
of the rightful heir to the throne still hidden in secrecy,
Illustra is on the verge of civil war--and threatened by hostile
forces gathering on every side.
A dangerous mission to free Errol is attempted, but the dangers
facing the kingdom mount with every passing moment. The barrier has
fallen, ferrals are swarming toward the land, and their enemies
draw ever closer. Will the discovery of the true heir turn back the
tide of Illustra's destruction?
Praise for The Staff and the Sword series
"This fast-paced fantasy debut set in a medieval world is a winner.
Both main and secondary characters are fully drawn and
endearing...Fans of epic Christian fantasies will enjoy discovering
a new voice."
Library Journal (starred review) on A Cast of Stones
"The adrenaline level remains high..."
Publishers Weekly on The Hero's Lot
"The Hero's Lot is a spellbinding, edge-of-your-seat thrill ride
that will leave you breathless and reeling from the truly masterful
and immensely pleasurable writing of Patrick W. Carr."
