Dead Stars - Part Two

North, is where the battle will take place. North, is where Farden must go. But to death, to glory, or to both?

The Arka have chosen their champion, and now he must lead them to the top of the world – The Spine, where the black mountains belch fire, and where the battle against apocalypse will take place upon the Ice Fields

As Farden and the others travel north in a warship clad in iron, the Krauslung they leave behind is crumbling. Not under the onslaught of the girl and her daemons, but from within: under the force of greed and poisonous ambition. It seems there are too many battles to fight.

Now, with the Sirens silent, the frozen north in uproar, and the responsibility mounting, Emaneska's champion must face a choice. Can he tread the tunnels of Hel to save a woman more ghost than alive, and claim the armour he has always longed for? For salvation lies in the hands of a Knight fifteen-hundred years dead, and in the red-gold armour of a certain mage.

Salvation lies with Scalussen.

Ben Galley is a British author of dark and epic fantasy books who currently hails from Vancouver, Canada. Since publishing his debut Emaneska Series, Ben has released the award-winning weird western Scarlet Star Trilogy and standalone The Heart of Stone, the critically-acclaimed Chasing Graves Trilogy, and the new Scalussen Chronicles.
 
When he isn't conjuring up strange new stories or arguing the finer points of magic systems and dragon anatomy, Ben explores the Canadian wilds, sips Scotch single malts, and snowboards very, very badly. One day he hopes to haunt an epic treehouse in the mountains.
