The Obsidian Key, by Eldon Thompson, is the sequel to The Crimson Sword.
King Torin must embark on a quest to find a long-forgotten race of people. While his friend Allion, Torin’s fiancé and her father join together on a journey of their own. With dangerous enemies around every corner, no one can be trusted. And Torin even has enemies within his own kingdom. For back at home, another seeks to usurp King Torin’s throne and claim it as his own.
This sequel is even better than the first. Torin’s journey is long, with many pitfalls, and gains several friends as well as enemies along the way. Meanwhile, Torin’s friend and betrothed have some unique experiences of their own, with foreseeable consequences. The Obsidian Key contains everything a great fantasy story should: magic, unique races as well as the well-known, danger, intrigue, quests, and relationships that grow and change. With plenty of suspense and surprises, this epic fantasy will leave you breathless after a climactic ending. And reaching for the 3rd in the series, The Divine Talisman, which releases today from Eos Books.
