Forged in Fire and Shadow - Yucaipa's War, #1 - E-book - ePub

In the wake of the devastating Lich Lord Wars, an era of peace should have dawned. But darkness still lurks in the shadows of the realm. Forged in Fire and Shadow is the first book in the Yucaipa's War series, a new epic fantasy adventure picking up the storylines of the beloved Aguerius family. When treacherous forces strike at the very heart of the kingdom, Zach - an orphan guard-in-training sworn to protect the Aguerius household - is swept into a conspiracy that will challenge his sarcastic wit and unexpected magical talents alike. Alongside his best friend Kaiden, an expert archer, and Cady, the daring daughter of a powerful lord, Zach must unravel the secrets behind the attack before the enemy's reach ensnares them all.
But with renegade elves, turncoat soldiers, and a new king with questionable motives, their path is fraught with deadly peril. Aided by a roguish ranger and a mischievous shapeshifting elf, the trio undergoes a trial by fire that will test their skills, their bonds, and their determination to survive. Can they overcome the bloodshed triggering this Royal Betrayal before it's too late?
