The throne is redeemed, but the battle is just
beginning.
In the dark corners of an ancient land, evil lurks in the shadows. Powerful druids haunt the spaces of their lost territory. Double-minded noblemen fight for domain and influence. Invaders from the north threaten the kingdom of Magnus. This land of promise and redemption is mired in deceit and corruption.
The Orphan King, once victorious in conquest, appears to be losing his grip on his seat of power. Thomas rules Magnus, but does not know whom he can trust. His enemies anticipate his every move, thwarting him at each turn. Something is not right.
Under attack, both in the supernatural and natural worlds, Thomas must reach back into the secret layers of his past to find the strength and wisdom to fight his battles. When the mist clears, who will stand with him?

Intertwining
the natural with the supernatural, the historical with the fantastical, Brouwer’s
narrative is an addicting read, filled with unexpected twists and
heart-stopping turns. Geared towards young adults, this is exactly the type of
book I love to read, albeit a tad simplistic, when I am in the mood for a light and easy read. I would definitely recommend this novel to anyone with an
interest in the genre of young adult fantasy and light reading. However, I would advise reading The Orphan King first - as the first novel in the Merlin's Immortals series, it provides the
necessary background needed to truly understand the plot. And again, I would
like to thank WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for providing me with a
copy of this novel. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to read and honestly
review it and I always enjoy a fresh, new book experience.
