Direflight

by Riley Miller

With the defeat of several powerful enemies, hope returns to Ehlrist and his team. The Capitol is won and the Sauderon armies driven back. Koda takes her place as the rider of the great white dragon, Glayshr. Mauser continues to train Slate and his rider as the time comes to pursue the Relic of Foresight. But the Temporan Relic is guarded by a series of tests that have defeated even the strongest and bravest who have attempted them. Even if Mauser is able to guide Ehlrist through these tests, the fourth Relic may prove to be a curse, and a heavy burden to carry. How much of what they do has the power to change the destiny that the Relic can foresee?Ehlrist and Slate are pressed with the weight of responsibility as the fate of others falls to their shoulders. Their own path throws them into encounters with the ricker that nearly killed Ehlrist, an enslaved army, and a dark soul with the ability to track Ehlrist’s every move. The Sound stronghold is discovered by the enemy, and Mauser is forced to flee from all he knows as centuries of secrecy crumble to ashes. The horseman devotes his remaining abilities to avenging the Sound and protecting Ehlrist, Slate, and the four Relics they carry from the mysterious team hunting them. Fearing the predictions proffered by the Relic of Foresight, Slate and Ehlrist steal away on their own to draw away the unknown threat from their friends.Mauser and Koda run against the clock to target a weakness in their new enemy before Ehlrist and Slate are captured with the Relics. As they pursue the trail of the hunters they find themselves digging deeper and deeper into the buried secrets of everyone they thought they knew. They must risk life and liberty and stake their trust that Ehlrist is able to harness his darkness and strength against the hunters. But facing an enemy with the ability to sense and manipulate darkness pits them up against something that has the potential to bring creeping shadows to light. Despite the danger they all press on, knowing that if they fail, the most ominous and desolate futures foretold by the Relic will come to pass because of them.
