The Emerald Blade

One down. Five to go.

For Kole, Linn and the newly-minted heroes of the Valley, their recent victory is short-lived in light of new revelations.

The King of Ember is alive. But the man who once led his people against the forces of darkness is changed. His path now takes him to the north and a land called Center, where he intends to bring his power to bear against another would-be God.

While Kole and Linn gather a small company to follow the King, another group heads for the northern deserts, intent on discovering what power the Emberfolk left buried in the sands.

The Dark Months have faded, but the light cannot last. The time for hiding is over.

It’s time for the World to meet the Landkist.

The Emerald Blade is the second of five planned volumes in The Landkist Saga.

"Kelliher's action scenes are flawlessly tense and exciting, and at times it feels as though we're watching a fight in slow motion with every punch and every spray of saliva rendered in HD for our viewing pleasure." -- Fantasy-Faction

"Shifting alliances and tenuous loyalties make the action unpredictable ... I applaud Kelliher for making sympathetic villains who nevertheless must be defeated." -- Black Gate Magazine

"An amazing follow up, and if Kelliher isn't careful, this could end up being one of my favorite fantasy series ever." -- Dyrk Ashton, Author of Paternus
