The Bastard King
Since the Scepter of Mercy was lost from Avornis,
the kingdom has been at risk from its magic-using neighbors. King
Lanius and King Grus retrieved the Scepter in a tale of great triumph
and adventure. But the true story of their dual reign has never been
told. Until now...
The Chernagor
Pirates
In the second book of The Scepter of Mercy, the
troubled, dual reign of Kings Lanius and Grus is threatened by civil
war in the north and the half-mindless thralldom of the Menteshe to the
south. The kings must reclaim the all-powerful Scepter before the
Banished One's advantage becomes insurmountable-and their people
discover just how formidable an enemy he truly is...
The Scepter's
Return
For hundreds of years, the rulers of Avornis
sought to reclaim the Scepter of Mercy, their only protection from the
fallen god known as the Banished One. They all failed. Now, the burden
rests on the shoulders of two kings, divided by pride, but united in
duty.
