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
23 books330 followersI am a British author living in Spain, best known for my epic fantasy series The Silvan.
From a young age, I was influenced by science fiction and fantasy, reading authors such as Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, and J.R.R. Tolkien. My fascination with elves and my desire to explore their lives, social structures, and politics led me to create my own saga.
I strive to create coherent imaginary worlds and deep, complex characters. My writing is characterised by exploration of the warrior's mind, intense emotions, and well-developed magical systems I truly hope you will enjoy.
When I'm not writing in Shedquarters, I enjoy cooking, gardening, and spending time with my dogs. I am active on social media and platforms like Goodreads and Bookbub, where I love engaging with readers.

Sons of Adakia is a strong continuation of R.K. Lander’s Silvan Outlands series, picking up where Dawn of Adakia left off. The novel delves deeper into its world, expanding on the political intrigue, magical elements, and complex character arcs that made the first book so engaging.
The character development is a highlight, with each individual’s journey feeling genuine and impactful as they face increasingly difficult challenges. Lander’s ability to balance personal struggles with larger conflicts keeps the story both grounded and gripping. The intricate world-building and attention to detail are evident, enriching the narrative without overwhelming the reader.
The plot is filled with tension and emotional depth, pushing characters into tough decisions and exploring themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and betrayal. While the action and intrigue are strong, it’s the emotional stakes that leave a lasting impression.
Overall, Sons of Adakia is an engaging read for fans of epic fantasy, delivering on its promise to expand the series while keeping the heart of the Silvan Saga intact. It’s a solid follow-up that leaves readers eagerly anticipating what comes next.

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!
