Mournstead

An ancient history of magic-rediscovered. Alster and Elsey have found the tomb of Alistair the Fourth. Four hundred years ago, the mighty general was sealed away in what was supposed to be his eternal prison. Hidden in the mountains, protected by magic, and forgotten for ages...

Not anymore.

The feared magic of shadows has returned to Vecnos, and no one is safe. With the Umbral Blade returned to its rightful owner, Alster and Elsey must seek another artifact-and their journey will send them into Mournstead, the dreaded capital of the east, where a single misstep means death. If they don't succeed, all of Vecnos will perish under a brutal regime of shadows.

Mournstead is the wild conclusion to the Umbral Blade epic fantasy duology by Stuart Thaman. Brace yourself for the thrilling journey of a lifetime as two friends leave their home in search of long-forgotten adventure.
