FROM THE BACK COVER:
Emaneska is crying out for a saviour.
The only question is:
Can they kill a child to save a world?
Emaneska’s Long Winter remains as bitter as a blade between the ribs. War is fast approaching. Gods and daemons are hovering on the horizon. Long-lost revelations arrive to haunt the lives of three men.
The Pale Kings are rising.
While Farden busies himself digging up his past in the strange deserts of Paraia, the storm-clouds begin to gather for Durnus, Elessi, Cheska, and Modren.
Together with Farfallen and his Sirens, they must fight to survive against the Long Winter, the vicious machinations of the new Arkmage, and the arrival of something much deadlier than both combined. War, deception, and murder are quickly becoming the only paths to salvation...
PALE KINGS is the explosive sequel to the critically-acclaimed debut THE WRITTEN, and the second instalment in the epic EMANESKA SERIES. Harder, darker, and faster, PALE KINGS aims to leave THE WRITTEN quivering and whimpering in the shadows.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Picking up the turbulent tale of Farden the mage once more, PALE KINGS follows him deeper into the darkness as he hunts for his past in the deserts of strange Paraia. There he will uncover more than he bargained for, including a revelation that will see his life and those of Durnus, Elessi, Farfallen and yet more, spiral out of control. As an ancient plot is discovered, they are forced to choose between themselves and the fate of the world. Love will battle betrayal. Fear will fight responsibility. Greed will clash with bravery. Can anyone step up the mark? The stakes have been raised even higher this time. Consequences hover like a guillotine’s blade.
Bursting with even more magick, lore, action, and emotion than its predecessor, PALE KINGS is every bit the sequel that THE WRITTEN deserved. It is the second book by young UK author Ben Galley.
