Ghosts of the Asylum (Sequel to The Kobalos Trilogy

by Ty Johnston

A year has passed since Kron Darkbow survived the clutches of Belgad the Liar and the evil Lord Verkain. Returned to the city of Bond, now Kron attempts to find his place in the world. He begins by rebuilding his new home in the Asylum, a place haunted by the memories of those slain there. But riots in the streets intrude, and power struggles within the city’s guilds draw Kron into a web of deceit. Kerjim, the master of the Docks Guild, has high plans, and the slaying of Kron Darkbow is imminent among them. Facing fighting in the streets and late-night assassination attempts, Kron soon learns these are the least of his concerns. Because more than just memories are lingering within the Asylum.

Reviews

[Lyndon · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really solid dark fantasy featuring Johnston's hero, Kron Darkbrow. After the initial trilogy (which was very good, btw), Kron has a crisis of purpose and is trying to reform himself. The challenge comes when someone he doesn't know wants to kill him for some unknown purpose. Kron takes it to the dark side one more time to defeat his enemies. The dark side being the Ghosts of the Asylum. Recommended for high adventure fantasy and sword and sorcery fans teenage and up.
