The long-awaited conclusion to The Darkling Hills In the ancient land of the Five Hills, a new generation is growing up under the rule of their conquerors. The young people of Lindahne are preparing a secret rebellion, but the royal heir they hope to follow is missing...or perhaps was never born at all… Nearly twenty years after the catastrophic war that may have destroyed the royal line, the land of Lindahne lives under the cruel rule of Mendale, country of their ancient enemies. At the same time, across the thundering Valtah river, a new and dangerous people are rising up from a land of dreams. The survivors of the last war find the fate of Lindahne rests on two members of the conquered generation who have never met: a young man struggling to be loyal both to his country and to a father who is also his enemy, and a young woman shrouded in darkness who does not even know her true name. The divine flames of Nialia, goddess of Fate and protector of Lindahne, have burnt out. Yet a force is moving across the Hills – and the two young people must summon the strength for . . . Calling Up the Fire. Praise for The Darkling Hills (Book 1) “Interesting and imaginative” – Publishers Weekly “A carefully wrought fantasy of romance, intrigue, and war.
