Book 2 of the Paladin Series

The Crucible of Destiny

The journey of young Paladins, Errol and Alys, takes a dramatic turn as prophecy and destiny collide in the bustling port town of Southport. Guided by Baldric, a mysterious Paladin disguised as a humble peddler, they discover their extraordinary powers extend far beyond the divine Seraph's Blades they carry. Their telepathic bond with Thraugor, their magnificent Amarok companion, proves crucial as they confront their first true test: a town corrupted by dark magic and tyranny. But Southport's liberation is only the beginning. A shared prophetic vision—more terrifying than any before—reveals a dark angel descending into the Wastelands and an army of legendary ne-giants marching toward the Paladin Fortress. As Errol and Alys race to warn the High Cleric through an unprecedented display of telepathic power, a sinister force stirs at the edge of the known world. A vengeful witch, driven from Southport by our heroes, plots her return alongside a mysterious merchant, seeking passage into the forbidden Wastelands. With the fate of Terrene hanging by a thread, Errol and Alys must master not only their growing abilities but also the intricate arts of diplomacy and warfare. As darkness gathers on the horizon, these young champions of light face their greatest challenge yet—preparing for a confrontation that will shake the foundations of their world.
