Set against the epic backdrop of a world at war with myths and legends brought to life, Mythborn 2 continues the sweeping saga of Arek Winterthorn, wayward apprentice of the eldritch Way as he struggles to survive in the demon realm of Arcadia. Accompanied by Prince Niall Galadine, he searches for his father, unaware he is the prize in a war between Highlord Valarius Galadine’s warforged elves and Lady Lilyth’s demonic Furies. One seeks to possess him, the other to use him as a weapon as something dark and sinister within him grows, something called - blackfire.

Apprentice assassin Arek Winterthorn has a power even he himself doesn't understand. Unable to cast even the simplest of spells, he can still disrupt the magic of others with a single touch. Arek's master, Silbane, is ordered to use that power to close a gate between their world and one inhabited by demons. This will save their people, but potentially at the cost of Arek's life. Thus begins an epic quest brimming with betrayals, plot twists, violence, and intrigue.

The First Lord's game has reached a critical apex. For the first time in millennia, the teams are equally matched. The field itself holds a kind of equilibrium. It is the task of Björn's Players to unbalance the field in their own favor in their great game to restore Balance to the Realms of Light. But with Malorin'athgul and now Warlocks returned to the realms, the game - and the stakes involved - has elevated to an entirely new order of magnitude, requiring Björn's Players to do the same.

Their hunger for total dominance has plunged Illian into war, pushing the survivors to Namdhor, the last refuge of man at the top of the world.

The Crow, the one who was promised, has seen the future and works in the depths of The Bastion to forge a new weapon....

Aaron and his companions have been saved from Kevlane's creatures only to find themselves in the power of the Akalians, a shadowy group of warriors many believe aren't men at all, but creatures of nightmare bent on blood and death. But not all the shadows' secrets are evil ones, and allies are often found in the unlikeliest of places. In Baresh, the tournament has begun, and the ancient mage, Kevlane, adds more twisted creatures to his army, fashioning a force the likes of which the world has never seen.

Steve doesn’t know who he was. He does know a lot more than he did previously, though. He’s in a country called Lamals where men are required to have children, then more often than not, go fight and die. And that’s just how it is. Things are at least improving, though. Steve successfully put a stop to the Creep’s advance. He’d buried it under a mountain of broken wall and escaped with his life. Which eliminates one enemy. The creep and its undead.

Aaron and his companions return from Baresh with the truth of what the alliance faces, yet such knowledge is little comfort. Throughout the city, men and women whisper of demons, of monsters. But though they might disagree on the nature of Kevlane's twisted creations, there is one thing they have in common. Fear. For the creatures they face are not men - not any longer. They are death given form and function. They are, it seems in the darkest hours - and there are many such now - Telrear's doom.

Publisher's Summary
Continuing the award-winning epic of a world where faith and dreams become reality, Mythborn Three follows Masters Silbane and Kisan, the young blade-master Ash, and Princess Yetteje as they journey into the ethereal realm Arcadia, home to the Celestial Lilyth and her Aeris demons. They search for Silbane's apprentice, Arek, and the lost prince of Bara'cor, Niall, as the two explore Arcadia for clues to the mystery of Arek's origin. Is he the son of the demon queen Lilyth, as she claims? Arrayed against Lilyth and her Aeris forces are the warforged elves of the ancient archmage, Valarius Galadine. Because of the beliefs of the people of Edyn, Valarius has become more elven god than man, and prepares to wage a cataclysmic war to eradicate the demon-kind once and for all. Silbane uses his gift of dragon-sight, hoping to find his apprentice before it's too late. Kisan has other orders - kill Arek before he can destroy the world with his dark gift, even if that means killing Silbane too. Who does Arek trust? The demon queen claiming to be his mother? The masters ordered to kill him? The elven archmage who would use Arek's body as a way to escape Arcadia and wreak havoc upon Edyn? Arek must uncover the truth from beneath the lies and unlock his full potential as an adept, or he and his friends will perish.

From the Author ✨ Mistake fixed! Apologies to all!
All,
I want to apologize to Paul and anyone else who mistakenly downloaded a copy where one of the chapters had been double encoded and sounded like garbage. As soon as I found out I uploaded a corrected version. Anyone who was affected can download the book again and this problem should be fixed. If the fix works, I'd sincerely appreciate it if you could revise your review. It was an honest mistake on our part.
I also want to clear up the confusion around the book numbers. I originally wrote Books 1 and 2 in 2012. Then it got picked up by a publisher and I rewrote the entire thing. The result was a much better story with more content but streamlined to read better (professional editors are the heroes here). The result was the books expanded from Books 1 and 2 to Books 1 to 3, but the story ended in essentially the same place.
This meant that if you bought the old books with the more cartoony covers, you got the earlier story. If you then bought Book 3 thinking it was the sequel to the earlier Book 2 (which is entirely understandable), it was essentially the second half of your original Book 2. I tried my best to put this explanation into the book descriptions on Amazon but it was easy to miss. I've been trying to figure out how to fix it, but trust me... if you're someone who has complained I have noted it and I'll figure out a way to make it right.
Now for the good news: Book 4: Litany of the Cypher, the true sequel to all of this, is finished! It follows Alion Deft and the time between Duncan's curse and her becoming a herald of Lilyth. I'm just in my editing phase and pushing hard to get it out. So please stay tuned.
As always, Michael Kramer's performance is fantastic in these books. If you got a copy with the chapter messed up in Book 3, just go back and redownload it and it should be fixed.
Thank you all for your understanding, support, and patience. I am truly honored to continue this series with all of you.
Sincerely,
V. Lakshman

Something is terribly wrong
The recording was terrible. Double recording . I’m sure it a mixing problem audio will address. I love Michael Kramer. The best there is. This recording is just awful.
