A Gathering of Princes

Vensille Saga #2

by James Evans

War threatens the city of Vensille.

An unseen enemy strikes at the city and Duke Rhenveldt struggles to maintain control.

As the danger grows, Marrinek forms a desperate plan to save his household and the twins.

Adrava and Floost must embark on a dangerous journey, deep into the Empire. Can they evade capture long enough to return to Vensille?

Far across the Empire, Tentalus marches west with his armies, bringing death and battle with him. Rumours of betrayal and conspiracy grow. Will the traitors spring their final trap before the Emperor can uncover their schemes?

And in the forests of Sclareme, an ancient horror awakens from its long slumber. Pursued and hunted, can Mirelle and her crew escape to bring a warning to Vensille?

Can anything save Vensille?

Captivating Story

I was not sure I would enjoy this book even though I read the first one. This book had some slow spots, but they were intriguing and informative. I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the next book. This book and its continuing story snuck up to on me and now I am hooked. Good job by the author.

Finally another great story

This is the first book in a long while that I consider a page turner and so well crafted both in character formation and back story . Many thanks James

Really enjoying this series, having the main character teach his apprentices magic is a genius method to inform the reader how it all works.

A few minor niggles but overall really good.

Better than the first book

In the second book James Evans more fully develops his ethically ambiguous characters and raises the stakes for all. I can't wait to read the next book.
