The Shackled Verities #2
Knight Redeemed
Plagued with a responsibility to his creator he never wanted or asked for, Ulfric and the Knights Corporealis are forced to face a new enemy…and one of their oldest companions.
Still shackled to his celestial creator Vaka Aster, Ulfric can take a moment of solace in knowing his world is safe from the usurper, and the Knights can mourn their lost companion.
Their peace, however, is short-lived.
Arch Keeper Beatte is a querulous monarch. When she demands more from Vaka Aster than she’s owed, Ulfric has to decide whether to reveal his new but unsought power and take his place as the leader the people of Vinnr seek, or to abandon them completely in their desperate struggles.
That choice is made for him when betrayer Knight Eisa Nazaria of Dyrrakium returns and reveals a historic deception…and an even greater threat.
The exiled empire of Dyrrakium and its thousands of warriors now await Ulfric’s command to conquer the rest of Vinnr. If he refuses, what price will he pay? If he capitulates, what blood will be on his hands? And if Balavad returns, how will the vulnerable and deeply divided realm possibly face the usurper a second time?
But what if Balavad never left…

A lot happens in the short time that passes in these pages!
Ulfric must learn how to free the Verity Vaka Aster and bring his wife and daughter home.
Jaemus must learn how to be a Knight Corporealis and figure out how to get back home to Himmingaze.
Eisa must figure out how to fix everything she has messed up in her long lifespan while all of her plans fall to pieces around her.
And to add another problem into the mix, the enemy they thought they defeated may not be as far away as they'd hoped.
Good sequel to the first book, and I am interested to see how everyone gets themselves out of the mess of the last few chapters.

Picking up right where Knight Chosen left off, this entry in the epic fantasy series deepens the reader's understanding of many of the leading characters and the world(s) they inhabit. Although the pace is a bit more measured than the first book, my interest never wavered as the tension steadily ratcheted up. The final few chapters simply flew by as surprise twists piled up and the stakes went through the roof.
Bring on Book 3.
