“Sure to attract fans of graphic novels and classic Tolkien alike. Stanek will likely draw a cult following. This guarantees fans, and those fans will be ready to wield their swords against the Dark Lord in Stanek's next installment.” — VOYA, the leading magazine for Young Adult librarians.

The sequel to the #1 Fiction bestseller!

THE KINGDOMS AND THE ELVES OF THE REACHES #2 takes us deeper into the unraveling mysteries of a world being torn apart by unseen hands and ancient prophecies. Thirteen-year-old Adrina finally got her wish to journey beyond Imtal, but at a cost that weighs upon her soul. Twice warned about the darkness ahead, she pressed onward but now the darkness has found her and her life hangs in the balance as the dashing young Captain Brodst tries to save her.

Vilmos’s epic journey into manhood continues. Though he was forced to confront the powers within himself and to flee the only home he’s ever known, he trudges on with shadows haunting his every step and strange beasts pursuing him. As he learns more about who he is, what his powers are, and what he must do, he begins to realize the terrible choices he’s made are just the beginning. He must fight back to protect those he’s left behind and those he loves.

Meanwhile, betrayed by his own people, Seth fights to survive the shipwreck and save the few who didn’t perish in the great battle at sea. But further betrayals ahead may be his undoing and if he fails, there is no hope for his people and war will surely sweep all the lands of Ruin Mist.

“Word of mouth turned it into a bestseller. Very satisfying.”

-- The Fantasy Guide

“A breathtaking world and an excellent epic fantasy series! This wonderful adventure reminds me of a cross between J.R.R. Tolkien, J.K. Rowling, Tad Williams, and C. S. Lewis.”

“Stanek [has] a penchant for clear and simple prose. He also prefers swift, action-oriented scenes. Solidly built. Stanek moves among his main characters with ease, always switching at a climactic moment to maintain suspense. The accessible, brisk language keeps things moving.” --Foreword Magazine
