Book Two in the Erys fan fiction series: If you haven't already, read Erys first. SPOILERS for book one included: Now a cripple, Erys has lost all hope. She has failed in her quest to free her mother from a life of slavery. Her injury at the hands of her friend has left her paraplegic. Her will is breaking, her spirit crushed. Helgrind is no longer safe, and there is no healer within the Republic who can heal her; Roran believes the only healers who can aid her wait in Ellesméra, beyond the border of Du Weldenvarden. Disheartened by betrayal and death, Erys must flee from the New Republic. With no allies and nowhere to tun she and the Free Riders must stand strong against a larger, stronger enemy. With war on their doorstep they must flee or fight. But their enemy has yet to unveil their greatest weapon, and they still pursue Erys with a vengeance. Neither do Erys and her companions fight one single enemy; they face a war on two fronts, with the Republic and Carvahall. With the threat of a prophecy hanging over her head, Erys must know friend from foe and end her enemies' rise to power before they destroy what little hope remains. Disclaimer!
