The Divided Path: The Journey of Galix and Keira
The wizard Cassian was right about the stars. The seal in the Hall of Kings is broken, and what it held is loose in the north.
The dead are walking in the high country. A dragon is back in a sky that forgot them centuries ago.
Ronan of the Geer is still on the goblin trail. He has followed their horns south for three moons with the great blade on his back, and whatever is driving them is worse than they are.
In the white city of Vellanor, Sir Galix has never failed at anything. He is the finest young paladin his Order has produced, and the King sends him north to drive out the orcs who have landed on the coast. An ambush leaves him broken at the bottom of a gorge. The one who digs him out is Keira, a huntress of the Wood Folk, whose people have paid in blood for generations for the last mercy their land showed a desperate stranger.
Behind the orc wall they find children at the fires and wounded laid in a whole people who put the sea between themselves and a fire that crosses a valley at midday and leaves only stone and silence.
Galix carries that south, certain the truth will be enough. The Order hears every word and musters faster.
Ronan’s road and theirs meet under the dragon’s shadow.
The Divided Path is the third book of The Age of Ash — a six-book epic fantasy saga for readers of David Gemmell and John Gwynne. The company that will stand against the fire is almost assembled — no profanity, no explicit content.

I just completed all six books from the Age of Ash collection. Each book built towards an ending I could not put down. Character development was excellent, not too deep, not too high level. When I put down the last book, "The Final Fire," I felt that loss that only happens when you have become part of the story, part of the quest. I am looking forward to the follow on to The Age of Ash. The author sets the threshold for the next series in the final book. This was a good read!
