Accretion: The Singularity Saga: Book Two: 2

"The victors write the histories, Lucian. Winners commit no atrocities." - King Raemar Valmere War has consumed the Starfall Peninsula. Armies march as old adversaries join forces and turn towards conquest. >The Kingdom of Aeri rose from the ashes of old Aelintharil like the phoenix that serves as its sigil, but when the Republic died the provinces fractured and fought. Kyria Ilaranth sits the throne beside the broken husband she hates, preparing to defend her homeland from the allied invasion. She has a plan, but what she needs is a miracle. In the Borderlands, where there are no kings or courts, Kaidyn Arren hides. Aeri would see him executed for his crimes. Valmere would have him commit more. He and Aisling Sylvi tried to live a quiet life free of commands, politics and death... but he grows restless, as does the void within him. Haunted by visions that grow ever sharper and more dangerous, he begins to understand that even he cannot outrun destiny. With the rest of the peninsula spiraling, all eyes turn toward Riftwood. Will the Triumvirate save Aeri? Or leave them to their fate? The singularity looms above them all, taunting Kaidyn with the same message over and over again: "One day it will all make sense. When that day comes... you'll have to choose."
