The Kira Chronicles #2 - The Song of the Silvercades product reviews

'Kira gritted her teeth and crept forward, looking for the best angle of attack. The stranger was tiring rapidly. As one of the Shargh leapt backwards, away from the thrusting parry, Kira screwed her eyes shut and brought the blade down with all her strength'.

Deep in the southern forests, the Tremen are being viciously attacked by their neighbours, the Shargh. As the death toll mounts, gold-eyed Kira, the Tremen's most gifted Healer, flees north to see help from their long-lost warrior kin, the Terak.

Her perilous journey barely begun, Kira is forced to compromise her beliefs to rescue Caledon, a man driven by his faith in divine order and star patterns.
