In the second volume of Jill Williamson's Kinsman Chronicles, a remnant has escaped the destruction of the Five Realms and now lives on several hundred ships adrift at sea. As a flock, they sail north into the unknown in hopes of finding land that might become their new home.
As the king's illness worsens, Sâr Wilek takes authority over the expedition and struggles to rule the disjointed people, while assassination attempts, vicious serpents, and dark magic endanger his life.
One prophecy has come to pass, but another looms dauntingly in the future. Who is this Deliverer? And if the Magonians have him, what might that mean for the realm of Armania?

This story if full of characters that feel as real as your friends. The story is vibrant and alive as you read through this and you feel as if you are there along for the journey. This is a long read, but so worth it. I can't recommend this book, the rest of this series and all of Williamson's books enough. I have been a fan of hers for years and you won't be disappointed with any of her stories. I can't wait to see what happens next on the adventure.
Every time I finish one of these books I can't wait for the next. The Kinsman chronicles is a thrill ride, filled with suspense, intrigue, romance, and beauty. One of Jill's greatest works.
