“Love…can destroy, it can build, or it can do both at once…”
With the Papilion’s whereabouts unknown, the Shadow pursues its plan for Marathana’s destruction. In control of the Northern tribes and strengthened by allies in the Deep Southernlands, the Shadow prepares to unleash its ultimate weapon, the berserker.
Jeru’s sudden reappearance reveals the presence of a powerful, new will at work. Blessed by the Lightbearer and supported by a ragtag group of survivors and unexpected allies, Jeru prepares to lead the small army into enemy territory.
As war breaks, Kelen and Jeru clash one last time. One brother seeks to destroy, the other to save. The strongest will prevail, sealing Marathana’s ultimate fate.
Forde’s love of writing began with an early interest in reading and in words in general. She is a self-published author (Rise of the Papilion trilogy), founder of the free digital Christian art and lit publication, Lost Pen Magazine, as well as a freelance writer and editor. As an editor, Dyane’s goal is to help writers feel positive about their craft while assisting them in producing works they are proud of and are confident sharing with readers.

This trilogy has been a journey to a fantasy world of Marathana and the trouble and unrest between the Northlands and the Southlands. At the heart of it all are the main characters Jeru and Kalen. Both on opposite sides with a link between them that is very surprising. Dyane Forde has written the trilogy in such a way that I always wanted more. Now that the trilogy has ended I am surprised how attached to the main characters. Jeru who has always been my favourite in book one 'The Purple Morrow ' and book two 'Wolf's Bane' but in Berserker Kalen surprises me with his transformation right to the very end. I cannot say more without spoilers but the end of the trilogy is totally fitting. Read it and find out.
