Blaze & Skyfire

BLAZE & SKYFIRE is the second book in the fantasy series: THE ROOT OF GLORY. The tale describes "a longing burned into human hearts, and a struggle for the only power that can satisfy that longing."

In Book Two, readers behold the champion.

Blaze, son of Horse Stalker, has come to take up the lost Root of Glory, and with it lead his desert kinsmen to a new home in the Green Lands. Long ago their ancestors stole the awesome Root and by its light were pierced with a deep longing that has been passed to each new generation.

The mortals need a champion. But Blaze is a healer, not a fighter, a man of royal lineage who refuses to shed blood and who falls ill while tending the wounded. The fierce, ageless rebels who oppose Blaze believe he's too weak to withstand a blow from the Root, if only they can find it first.

Opposed by rebels and kinsmen alike, Blaze gathers his followers from among the Seven Clans. And his mother, the Great King's daughter Healdin, makes ready a fiery sacrifice on behalf of her son and the ones he loves.
