The Circle: The Curse of Quadar

Book two in the series. The Circle journey into Quadar, the cursed land where the evil ruler Darvan lives, to rescue their captured comrades. Dismissing the ancient legends associated with the land as simple stories, they embark upon a rescue mission that turns into an action-packed adventure as they discover that there is more truth than tall-tales to the stories. Nothing is as it seems. The ancient curse is indeed alive and well. Lost in the vast wasteland, tension mounts among the riders. But they eventually find what they are looking for: the castle of Darvan. Now, they must find a creative way to get inside and rescue their friends. But once inside the dark castle, they find their comrades in an unpredictable situation. Rescuing them calls for creative thinking and skill. With their comrades under a delusion and dark forces against them, they must fight to reclaim their friends. The cursed land puts the riders to the test and Windsor finds his leadership called into question as he makes an unpopular decision. Wrestling with the meaning of ancient prophecies, the recent prophesy of his own death, past regrets, and shameful events from his youth, he questions himself. But when they learn that the great war is beginning and Shalahem has come under attack, their concerns shift and they return to defend the city. Now, a wounded Amase finds himself holding the cursed sword, bearing the responsibility that has been thrust upon him.
