[Book Seven of the "Patrons' World" series.]

The island of Iibar had seen countless wars over the centuries and many invaders, not least the murderous warriors of the Gaerad islands. After the last war, Iibar rests in an uneasy truce that threatens to descend into conflict at any moment.

When teenage friends, Mythrd and Gythryn, witness a skirmish between Iibarish and Gaeradine soldiers, they find a survivor that could put an end to hostilities forever. Either through an all-encompassing war, or through a lasting peace.

Yet others seek the mysterious survivor, vicious monsters are abroad and the return of an ancient, forgotten religion all threaten to topple any chance the island has to survive the coming conflict.

It falls upon the two untrained, scared children to lead the island to peace or to war and their lives will never be the same.

A novel set within the sprawling, detailed Patrons' World.

Avarice Blacksteel Book 2 by Xonereth

Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.
