A Guard's Request (The Light of Miera)

Poisoned mana continues to corrupt the Manastream.

Although plans were disrupted and sacrifices made, the question remains: will it be enough to save them all?

The Light of Miera continues in the second instalment of Ash Hester's gripping epic fantasy series, A Guard's Request.

Step back into the world of Alamantra as Princess Arafrey confronts the brutal realities of her position. Resolute in fulfilling the promise she made with Reyla, she dedicates herself to her people. Yet, no amount of personal sacrifice can protect them from the spreading sickness, and she finds herself seeking comfort in perilous afflictions.

Meanwhile, Reyla and Tharin, having already collected two blessings, venture into hostile territories to seek the Hand of Miera. To claim this holy relic and stop the sickness from spreading through the Manastream, they must first complete the Trial of the Ten Ancestors. But they are not the only ones seeking this power.

With the occupation of Sudra well underway, Emperor Gabris returns to Dura with new hopes of a future he believed to be lost. However, the bonds of his newfound friendships will be pushed to their limits with the rise of an unknown enemy; one who threatens to destroy everything he has accomplished.

All the while, Alamantra's Guardian watches...

Until they can watch no more...
