A Kingdom of Graves

Book Two of The Erethorn Saga

Six months have passed since the rebellion spread across Erethorn.

Five kingdoms now stand beneath one alliance, but unity has not brought peace. The dead keep coming, the roads grow more dangerous, and King Malric has spent the silence preparing for a war far larger than the rebels imagined.

Verian carries Vaelor at his side, but the living sword cannot answer the questions that now follow every command. How many lives can be spent to save a kingdom? How much can be surrendered before survival becomes another kind of defeat?

Beyond Stonewatch, Malric's rule is changing.

Settlements disappear beneath new names. Roads stretch deeper into conquered territory. Records are altered, people counted, and old identities slowly erased. The Empire is no longer satisfied with holding the kingdoms. It intends to make conquest permanent.

As Verian, Rhiara, Corin Voss, and the alliance are drawn deeper into the war, rebellion becomes something harder than fighting for victory. They must decide what deserves to be saved when armies cannot save everything?and what a kingdom is worth if its people are forgotten.

The roads are closing.

The graves are multiplying.

And Erethorn is learning that surviving a war may demand more than winning one.

A Kingdom of Graves is Book Two of The Erethorn Saga, a dark epic fantasy of living swords, rebellion, political conquest, memory, sacrifice, and the cost of leadership.
