The end is near.
Alexci Golovkin has lost his throne. His mother’s betrayal laid open their plans with Roche, and the land he hoped to rule sees him as a traitor. Now he must salvage what he can before his Arriborn identity is discovered and his immediate demise called for.
Denis Oravec is a dead man walking. Entered into the Games of Silence with the wounded Dmitriy, it’s only a matter of time before one or both of them are put against an opponent they can’t beat. After witnessing the evils in Darkness Arena, Denis prepares for the day when he himself fights in a death match—and hopes that Dmitriy won’t be the one to kill him.
Kráľ Innokentiy now knows Taliyaven’s long-kept secret, and it’s only a matter of time before his army braves the Pathless Forest to wage war against the Talinae. The destruction ordered by wordsmith Henadz has weakened the skill residing in Talinae singers, and they are unsuspecting of their coming doom.
Find Alexci. Rescue Denis. Defeat Henadz. Stop Innokentiy. One person can only do so much, and Masha Oravcová finds herself faced with far too many choices that must be made. Can Taliyaven be saved? Or have the dead given their lives in vain?
Personal Notes
The Red War Annals series takes place in a made-up fantasy world where the characters read the Bible and pray to God. Instead of trying to make a God-like figure, such as Aslan, I decided this would make it easier to share my theme - Christians trusting in God during difficult circumstances. Is it a little strange to have characters in a made-up land reading the same Bible we do? Maybe. Just don't think about it too hard and enjoy the series!
Content Guide
War violence, death, torture. I try to keep things as non-graphic as possible while also being realistic to the results of war, travel, and various accidents & injuries. Slavery is present in one of the kingdoms, but is shown in a bad/horrible light.
Very little sexual content (or even romance). Some characters are married and may kiss on page. Others may express interest in each other but that is not the focus of the plot.
No bad language. Sometimes the villains will curse, but exact words are not used (the line in the book will read "He cursed.")
A certain people group has a "singing magic" that they call Skills. Some people are born with this ability, and with practice and dedication they can grow better at their particular Skill. Some Skills effect elements (fire, water, plants, etc) while others, called Wordsmiths, can motivate people's emotions.
