BEHIND THE MASK OF WAR AND VALOR, BETRAYAL REIGNS WHERE IT BLEEDS…

Orynthia’s young king grievously takes his throne in the wake of regicide. From the city’s underbelly, unrest brews for the cross-caste convicted, while the haidrens hastily depart Bastiion to embark on the coronation tour for the realm’s new sovereign: Dmitri Korbin Thoarne.

Now the seated haidren for his House, Zaethan Kasim returns to the brutal mountains of his youth, where competition and conquest eagerly await his homecoming, unlike his dismissive father. There, Zaethan swiftly uncovers a Darakai radically changing. Committed to doing whatever it takes to protect Dmitri’s regime, he fights to remain alpha zà as Wekesa—his favored rival—prepares his challenge. To ensure he is named champion, Zaethan presents another deal to the highlander witch he despises. Yet in balancing fealty to both king and countrymen, Zaethan begins to doubt Darakai’s loyalties, as well as his own.

Luscia Darragh Tiergan is no stranger to the brutality of the south. However, after a harrowing attack, it is the shadows lurking behind it that slashes her dreams into a waking nightmare. Plagued by whispering omens, Luscia wrestles to silence her uncontrolled Sight. And as she is stalked out of Bastiion from within the Other, she must conceal the volatile manifestations from her Boreali guard but, most especially, the Darakaian haidren Luscia’s sworn to help.

Hosted by the House of War, the Quadren confronts an enemy more dangerous than the last. For where treachery stirs, it is not the crown that reigns, but the bloodshed encircling it.

House of Darakai (The Haidren Legacy Book 2)

His rival snarled, shoving off Kehari. Hoisting a serrated-edge shield, Wekesa tore a double-bit battle axe from the weapons master’s arsenal and stampeded for the ring of torches.
General Lateef attended the challenger into the marked combat zone. But, grinding his jaw, Zaethan angled for one man. Enormous horns sounded as his marbled form, illustrated in white runes, crossed the boundary line.

Alone.

Closing the gap, Zaethan faced his rival. Both panted eagerly, seething with anticipation.

From the center of the ring, the general announced to the arena, “Darakai! Ano’puwàa dim’hakku, yona alpha ni ràtomdai.” His voice boomed, and the people began to strike the stone on which they sat. “For the challenged, kwihila or surrender!” General Lateef pointed at Zaethan, then to Wekesa. “For the challenger, kwihila or death! Hewe hai Darakai!”

The first horn sounded, and grinning hungrily, the general backed away.

“We won’t follow a pretender, or your y’siti whore!” Wekesa barked at the Northern kuerres.

At the second horn, adrenaline primed Zaethan’s muscles.

“Don’t worry, jwona rapiki. You won’t have to.” Zaethan dug his heel into the dirt. “You’ll be dead.”

To the thump of a thousand fists, the third horn blared.

About

K.L. Kolarich

Throughout her life, K.L. Kolarich never expected to become a bestselling epic fantasy author, nor one based out of Nashville, TN. But growing up in Metro Detroit, Kolarich developed a deep love for eclectic variety as well as the underappreciated. Both themes readily present throughout her treacherous series, The Haidren Legacy.

An individual plagued by sarcasm, conviction, and an ever-present distraction of fable and lore, K.L. Kolarich dreams in the day and writes through the night. Often hearing her characters argue in the background, Kolarich stifles the daily temptation to abandon reality and lose herself in the realm of Orynthia.

When fully present in the real world rather than another, Kolarich explores local waterfalls, habitually frequents the same Thai restaurant, adds to her ever-growing spice collection, and maintains a thoroughly messy kitchen for the sake of colorful vegan feasts.

With too many cats and not nearly enough wine, Kolarich resides in the woods away from the noise, happily married.
