Swords Against the Fallen: Awakening

Swords Against the Fallen: Awakening

Eons ago, the Fallen was cast out of its dimension and imprisoned in a mountain known as the Withering Nest. The Fallen’s evil drained the world of magic, until only traces remained. Now, swords and violence rule the world beyond the Fallen’s mountain, but there are whispers and prophecies that magic will rise again. Argen, a young Vyck warrior, is betrayed by the Shay — his family killed, his home destroyed. Only he, his brother, and his teacher survive. Where will they journey to exact vengeance? Cassara, like all second daughters of Valanta, is to be gathered by the Sisterhood after her thirteenth summer. Can she survive the wicked women and their secrets? Jai and her twin sister were stolen from their mother as infants and brought to the Withering Nest, where they were raised to kill—each other. The reward for survival is serving as an assassin to the living god, the Fallen. Will Jai change her fate? And who works in the shadows to ensure that prophecies are fulfilled, regardless of the cost?
