Silvan Outlands #2
Sons of Adakia
A betrayal born of revenge. An unlikely alliance. A realm on the brink of civil war.
The fractured tribes of Adakia and the powerful Crown of Boscandia stand on the edge of chaos. With King Uwendo gone, Queen Duanib ascends to power, and shadows stir—an exiled Elderak who seeks retribution, wielding a force capable of annihilating all who stand in his way. Tarwenol Antadak returns with vengeance burning in his veins, bent on crushing those who banished him and seizing control of Boscandia.
Amid the turmoil, Fel’annár and his slowly reforming Company find themselves in a desperate struggle. As hidden enemies conspire, Fel’annár’s evolving powers will prove more vital than ever. But secrets run deep in the House of Or’Talán, and the rise of the mysterious Sons of Adakia could tip the balance of power. But who are they? And what role will they play in the future destiny of Adakia?
In this fast-paced sequel to The Silvan, R.K. Lander delivers a sweeping tale of political intrigue, unlikely alliances, and the unrelenting fight for justice.

About the author
R.K. Lander
20 books328 followersI'm R.K. Lander and I have always loved fantasy.
I read Tolkien and Hobb. I read Robert Jordan and Will Wight. I read all those classic fantasy books and when there was nothing left to read, I wrote my own stories, the ones I wanted to read but couldn't find.
I love epic fantasy. The battles, the creatures, the riveting stories and sweeping worlds. But I love the characters just as much. I love the intrigue, the politics, the strategy and the philosophy behind the magic systems. I love imaginary worlds that make sense, and I love characters that think logically.
I love exploring the depths of the warrior mindset. I love the emotions that life-changing events bring about, and if I can make my readers feel all those things, then that is what I most love about writing.
I hope you will read my stories and enjoy them, and if you do, I would love to hear from you.

When a patrol guarding the prince is massacred, the Crown Prince Yasir, Lord Orsala, and Ghiahan are presumed dead. Thinking that the Adaks are responsible, the Scandic citizens of Boscandor take to the streets and slaughter all the Adaks who were unable to escape to the Reserve. Son after, Fel’annar and Turion set out to find the truth about the attack.
Footnote: 1) According to the author-provided Boscandia map, Whiteoak and Greenfields are on opposite sides of Boscania. Yet the story makes it sound like they are close by and easier to get to than the city. Also, if Whiteoak was just attacked, why did the Greenfield group want to retreat there?
Fave scenes: Dorainen trying to visit the three survivors, Talanor’s biscuit, rescuing the wagon, and the Dohai.

Wonderful Story. I am interested to learn more about the Son's of Adakia what makes them unique and what abilities makes them special to the Adaks cause.
I am also looking forward to find out exactly what happened to Felennar when he touched the Byren tree...

Just another great read. Just as I thought I was going to get my answers for what was next !! It kept me enthralled all the way through, all the twists and turns, with the different characters doing their different things, left me wanting more again. Roll on the next book.

Never started a story at the end before
I don't usually read a set of series starting at the end. However, this author is so good I did this time. As I wait for the next in this series, I'll start from the beginning.

4 and a half stars. Another terrific volume by RK Lander. I took off half a star for some proofreading problems, but I found it engrossing and I can't wait to read the next in the series!
