The Heron Kings’ Flight

Second book in the highly praised series, following the starred review by Publishers Weekly for book one.
Readers who love medieval-esque fantasy will delight in this rousing tale of rebellion. - Publishers Weekly starred review of Book 1 in the series The Heron Kings have been betrayed. A century after their formation from a gang of desperate peasant insurgents, the shadowy band of forest rangers suffers a rare defeat when a skirmish turns into a bloody ambush. Their shaky truce with the crown is tested as young members Linet and Aerrus work to track down their enemies. When reluctant peacetime soldier Eyvind reveals a conspiracy to welcome the charismatic invader Phynagoras, the trio must convince a weak king and pitifully few allies to stand against the storm. Their only hope lies in the forgotten tactics of their own guerrilla past, and a terrifying new alchemical weapon the likes of which the world had never imagined. The only question is which side will be destroyed by it first… AUTHOR: Eric Lewis is the author of The Heron Kings, which Publishers Weekly calls an ‘excellent debut’. It has been called ‘dark, brutal and bloody’ (Grimdark Magazine) and ‘fast-paced & gripping’ (British Fantasy Society) with ‘a Robin Hood feel’ (Booklist).
