Shadowlancer

An ambitious king. A vengeful enemy. Between them stands Zaiyera. Once a streamdancer but no more, Zaiyera Tuneem devotes her life and her sword to the protection of travelers across the harsh deserts of Samhar. But when she discovers two nearly dead shydon hunters, everything changes. Zaiyera holds no trust for the brutal justice-wielding shydon, but they hunt a deadly foe: A shadowlancer. A lancer corrupted by near infinite power, Malhadiev blazes a trail of death and ruin across Samhar in vengeance for his brother's murder. It won't stop there. A shadowlancer's hunger for power is insatiable. After seeing the destruction wrought in Samhar, Zaiyera fears that when Malhadiev returns, he will be invincible. Though her skills are formidable Zaiyera discovers that it's her unique scimitar that is the key to defeating the shadowlancer. After years of fleeing her own dark past, Zaiyera is forced to face it. If she fails, countless will die, and every civilization north and south will bend to the will of the shadowlancer or be obliterated. Once sworn to preserve life, now Zaiyera must battle death. Praise for Ramón Terrell Unleashed Fast paced, packed with action and engaging dialogue, Unleashed was a book I thoroughly enjoyed. --Brandon Sanderson, New York Times bestselling author of Stormlight Archive Out of Ordure It's a fun and sprightly tale, a tongue-in-cheek take on the 'other' tasks that fairies might have to do in addition to painting frost on windows or coaxing buds to open or helping kittens learn to mew. Terrell dives into his tale with enthusiasm and imagination. --Robin Hobb, New York Times bestselling author of Fitz and the Fool Trilogy
