The Torrid March

An ancient debt, to be paid in blood. Two heirs on the run. The struggle for survival has begun.

The kingdom is in chaos. In the forest, King Agoston and First Ranger Andras march south with their people to invade the coastal city of Kahlschafen - the last hope for relief in the all-out war with the Empire. But their defenses against the torrid climate are weak. With the drought, enemies on every side and slavers prepared to claim them all, it will take everything Agoston has to protect his people - Especially once the Emperor and his reptilian allies reveal their new advantage.

Amalia and Eva survived the Empire's troops, but that will make little difference if they can't outrun the Emperor's hunters. For the girls are more than mere travellers. They are Agoston's heirs - heirs the Empire would rather destroy than let live. And while the girls' strange, supernatural abilities could aid them in their survival, they are far from the only ones gifted with such power.

Against a backdrop of treachery, scorching heat and blood-soaked battlefields, The Source of All Things encroaches ever more on an ignorant world, its true nature just waiting to be unveiled.
