To save the world, first you have to survive it.
The battle for freedom has left Emaneska reeling and desolated. Both Scalussen and Arka are scattered to the winds. With the Blazing Throne now empty and the Arka Empire for the taking, the race to claim Emaneska has begun.
Farden and Mithrid have been stranded alone in strange eastern lands by errant magick. They battle not to return home, but to uncover an ancient weapon capable of defeating a god. A god who desires nothing but chaos.
In Emaneska, the survivors of the Rogue’s Armada search for safer havens, something rare and lacking in the uncharted waters of the south.
Treachery and pain await them both, but the price of failure is steeper. New enemies lie in wait on those foreign paths. Dark creatures born of nightmares and forgotten powers. Warlords set on mastering magick. And an old threat reborn, doggedly pursuing one fate: the death of Farden.

Matthew Lloyd Davies

Cornell was a young hippie, a new mod, a plastic punk, a new-romantic, a new-waver and now proudly calls himself newly middle aged. Considering life to always have been better in the 70’s and 80’s he finds his cell-phone too big and heavy and hates all tv series so much that he wants to smash his TV (much as a rock star in the 70’s would have) except TV’s don’t explode anymore when you do that...and they’re a whole lot more expensive to replace. Having smoked too much in his teens, drunk too much in his 20’s and 30’s and now with a newly found passion for fitness, his early life disregard for health combined with his later life fitness fad have given him the voice of a smooth, smouldering hunk and the body of a middle aged man who smoked and drank too much in his early life! Narrating audiobooks has shown Cornell that life in the modern world can be better than good and he has found a peace in telling stories. His daughter and life-partner (children of the 70’s don’t get ‘married’) are very patient and much cleverer than he is.
