The Hordes of Shashka (The Last Age Book 2) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

The Quest Continues Months have passed since, “The Battle of the GateHouse,” and the company now finds itself where none have gone before. Happenstance and circumstance have forced the adventurers deep into the thickets of the Elvin people, and put them on a course which will bring them ultimately to a, “face to face,” with their archrival Vahn, the shadowy ecclesiastic of Shashka, for he has survived his induction of fire and even now presses to resuscitate his fallen deity. Bella and Da-Xia are back, along with their new friends Bernlad De Hautdesert and Ushas. It’s a madcap sprint between Vahn’s sycophants and the companionship in a struggle to retrieve the Dark God’s lost treasures. The golden orb has been won; nevertheless the challenge to locate the scepter has just begun. The enchanter, Eric Darkholme, counseled once that should even one piece of Shashka’s treasures fall into the hands of his adherent’s, creation itself might be undone, a disconsolate and calamitous warning indeed. Black days are a brewing; evil walks amongst the people and only the foolish saunter the streets at night. Be that as it may through a world of chaos our friends must press, each step taking them farther from all they’ve known, but the final days of, “The Last Age,” are at hand and every now and then heroes aren’t born, but rather forged by the hammer that is need. “The Hordes of Shashka: Book Two of the Last Age,” continues the quest of our companionship for they’re the offspring of destiny, and providence itself is leading them far from their homes, sweeping them irrevocably toward a distant mountain—and a earth-shattering confrontation with the gods themselves.
