True Sight

Beholders #2

by Terron James

No victory comes without sacrifice. With newfound proficiency in True Sight, Lon Marcs has helped the Rayders to retake their homeland, but at a terrible price. His family has disowned him, his betrothed despises him, and Lon has become the greatest enemy of Appernysia. But living among the Rayders presents its own challenges for Lon. Mutiny swells in the shadows of Taeja’s ruins. Only a handful of Rayders remain loyal to their Beholder, so Lon must exercise constant vigilance as he selflessly labors to rebuild the once-glorious city for the arrival of their immigrating nation. Above all else, the greatest question on everyone’s mind is who will rise victorious as the new Rayder commander. Appernysia fairs no better. Its civilians are defecting to Taeja every week, fleeing from their own deteriorating kingdom. However, as an Itorean handmaiden, Kaylen Shaw realizes that Appernysia’s flaws are far more complex than the rulings of a misguided monarch. The last hope for Appernysia dwells with Mellai Marcs, but can she find the courage to oppose her own twin brother? And an old threat lurks in the west, looming in the shadows of the Forest of Blight.

About the author

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.
