Crimson Shore - Stefan Coleman - Bog

When Darkness falls upon Learsi,
and nightmares take on form,
ten friends unite a shattered kingdom,
and forgotten Hope returns...
Trading his freedom for the freedom of his crew, Joshian sets forth from Ildice with news that could shock the world to its core. Taking a grateful reprieve at home, he learns of another truth that shakes him even more, yet puts things more into perspective.
Still, a man of honor and a man of his word, Joshian continues to Vandor, the capital of Ebaven, and there finds mixed blessings in gaining new allies and allegiances... but is forced to say goodbye as some are lost. With his task done, he returns to Ildice to complete his service, but there is hit with the greatest loss of them all.

Elsewhere, the enemy's forces are beginning to show, but the old warriors rise again. The hunt has begun.
