Lon Marcs has led the Rayders in an overwhelming victory, but his trials are far from over. A new Rayder Commander must be selected. Mutiny swells in the shadows of Taeja’s ruins. The Rayder civilians must be escorted to their new home. And the biggest question on everyone's mind is how they will survive the brutal winter.
Appernysia fairs no better. Its civilians are defecting to Taeja every week, fleeing from their own deteriorating nation. Yet, as an Itorean handmaiden, Kaylen Shaw realizes that Appernysia's weaknesses are far more complex than the rulings of a misguided monarch. The last hope for their kingdom dwells with Mellai Marcs, but can she master her power and find the courage to oppose her own twin brother?
Born in the wrong age, Terron James continually fantasizes of shining steel, majestic stone architecture, thundering cavalry rushes, and opportunities to prove his honor. Under the direction of his queen, Terron labors diligently in his kingdom, striving to prepare an inheritance worthy of his four heirs.
When he finally graduated from the University of Utah with his English BA, Terron had become besties with most of the English department staff, as well as the employees of Brio, who make a wicked cup of hot chocolate.
Although he currently resides in Tooele, UT, Terron’s dream is to capture every sunset with his wife, fingers interlocked, the reflection of his soul in her brown eyes, and the ocean surf rolling over their bare feet.
Terron is a junior high English teacher, a former Tooele Chapter president of the League of Utah Writers, and a member of Pikes Peak Writers.

Great YA fantasy. I prefer some of the rougher stuff myself, but I'm giving it 5 stars because my preteen kids loved it. Right up their alley. Things are really heating up in Appernysia. We can't wait for the next novel in the Beholders series.
Good continuation. The story flowed a bit differently. The characters grow and change, but retain their core selves. Totally looking forward to the next book.
