Ascent of the Copper Dragon

Book 2 in the Atonement Series

Every day the monstrous war with Lyondrea looms closer, and without a Guardian the Realms will fight without its most effective defense. Thousands of lives are at risk, so it’s more important than ever that the Choosing ends and the new Guardian of the North is appointed. 

To save her friends fighting on the front line, Rorax will have to find a way to convince the Council of Houses that she is no longer just a soldier, no longer just the Pup or the Spine Cleaver. She’ll have to prove that she’s learned from her mistakes and that she is a leader they can rally behind to protect their world. 

From across the border, Arkyn Alasania, the Queen of Lyondrea, will do anything in her power to stop Rorax from becoming the new Guardian. If that means paying the ultimate price, conspiring with the House of Alloy and allowing monsters from another world to turn her country into a war-torn hellscape, she’ll do it. For if she fails to win this war against the Realms the lives of her children and her new husband will be at risk of being destroyed.

Time is running out. Will Rorax be able to protect herself and the ones she loves from Arkyn as they fight for her? Will her old or new found love break under the strain of the Choosing?
