Darknesses : The Corean Chronicles Book 2
Paperback Edition: 1
Millennia ago, a magical disaster caused the fall of a civilization, the end of a golden age.
New civilizations emerged from the ancient destruction and chaos, knowing little of the past or the disaster. Corus today is a world of contending countries, humans, and supernatural creatures.
It is a place of magical powers, and of a few people who are talented enough to use them.
Alusius, a captain of the Twenty-first Company, faces new challenges, both military and magical. A would-be conqueror has somehow revived sorcerous creatures of legend to assist in his crusade to reunite the continent under his rule.
Neither the officers above him nor the men under him know it, but Alusius's Talent is their only hope for victory, or even survival.
