Shattered
Great kings aren’t born. They’re made. Forged in the fires of adversity.
The Anarwyn is frightened. The Bragamahr is ascendant. When Cam, now king of the West Mark, marches out to face Bardon’s armies, he knows that no victory on the battlefield can defeat the power rising in Anwyn. If Lorna, the last of the ancient line of the Varaná, can’t withstand the Bragamahr, how can Cam expect to succeed? As his armies are pushed back to their last redoubt Cam must find a way to destroy an enemy he does not understand before the magic of the Anarwyn is shattered beyond repair. Success may cost more than his life at just the time he has rediscovered the desire to live.

About the author
J.W. Elliot
34 books62 followersJames is a twenty-nine-year-old stuck in an older man’s body. He loves to paddle his canoe, shoot his handmade longbows in the woods, make knives, study martial arts, and generally enjoys challenging himself. When not teaching or writing about the real past, he is imagining worlds and histories that might have been, should have been, or may yet be.
James has two homes (though only one house)--the mountains of Idaho and the forests of New England--where he canoes, hikes, camps, rock climbs, and shoots the longbows he makes himself. He lives in Massachusetts with his wife.
James is a professional historian whose published works include two histories of the Inquisition, a documentary history of Columbus's first voyage, a transcription of a colonial era account book from Weymouth, Massachusetts, and a global history of piracy. This means that he is a professional teller of stories, both real and imagined.
James's favorite author is J.R.R. Tolkien, though he will never be able to watch the Peter Jackson Hobbit films again. The first viewing nearly gave him a fit. He loves The Giver and The Book Thief. He has read all the Hunger Games novels, but thinks Katniss should have ended up with Gale. (Sorry Peeta fans.) He enjoys Harry Potter and thinks magic should be real--so long as he owns the Elder Wand.

Cam and the rest of his companions continue on the quest to defeat Bardon but not without losing a lot of friends. No one knows who they can trust, and certain ones are not who they say they are. Lorna has given everything she has to save them but not without a price. Cam has a very unique creature that is helping him which is quite surprising. But things are not quite over yet more is to come. A great 3rd book in the series looking forward to the next one.
