Nothing but Tombs

The Beggar's Ride #2

by Tim Stead

Civil war explodes across Avilian. In Bas Erinor Cain's small army waits for Alwain's inevitable assault. The northern lords march south to Cain's aid, but even if they arrive in time there may not be enough food to feed them and the seige may be over almost as soon as it has begun.

In Afael Francis Gayne has the upper hand in the city, but Duke Kenton is marching south to claim the crown and Gayne is afraid to use his powers and expose himself to the god-mage's judgement.

In Col Boran the god-mage Pascha does her best to stay apart from it all, but war has a way of drawing people in and Callista, her protege, is not so afraid of her growing powers.

And in the small fishing town of Berrit Bay a stranger steps ashore from a foreign ship, and everything changes.
