Shadow of the WindSlayer Book II: Arbiter of the Knight King (Paperback or Softback)

When Roan became the Scion of the Modeus, he was promised power beyond measure. Instead, he became a weapon-a pawn in Trylian's ruthless campaign to destroy the Elsarius.

For ten years, Roan has served faithfully, crusading across Kelroth and destroying all who oppose the Modeus faith. His power comes with a price: the bloodlust is growing, and he can barely control it. At his side stands Phael, who sees a flicker of goodness in his captor that even Roan himself cannot recognize.

As Roan's crystals begin to shatter and his magic fails, he uncovers a disturbing truth: the Modeus power comes not from faith alone. Something darker fuels their magic, something Trylian has hidden from him for years.

When betrayal strikes from all sides, and Roan learns the truth of Trylian's grand scheme, he must make an impossible choice: continue serving the faith that has shaped him into a monster, or destroy the very magic he's desperately trying to understand.
