Path of Shadows

The dragon egg has hatched... ...and a dark lord needs his sacrifice back... ...so he can become a god. By some miracle, Aeron has managed to rescue his sister from the Crimson Flame's clutches. Together, they escape to the western mountains and hide out. But their solace doesn't last long... ...because the Crimson Flame's reach extends farther than they know. Thanks to an unforeseen alliance, Crimson Flame cultists in the service of Lord Valdis recapture Aeron's sister. Now Aeron's only hope is to gather enough strength--in the form of legendary, god-forged weapons--to kill Lord Valdis and save his sister once and for all. But time is running out. If Aeron doesn't save her by the next new moon, his sister will be sacrificed as part of Lord Valdis's ritual. Will Aeron manage to get ahold of the legendary weapons in time? And even if he does, will it be enough to snatch his sister from the claws of death yet again? Path of Shadows is the riveting second book in the Blood Mercenaries series of epic, sword-and-sorcery novels, loaded with intrigue, magic, action, and colorful characters.
