Shadows of War: Book 2, The King’s Frog Hunter

After defeating the forces of the wicked Metro, and saving her father, the new queen, Ekala Oleen, begins a tour of the Kingdom of Ameram–anticipating a pleasant journey, visiting with the people and correcting injustices. Instead, she is stalked by vicious night beasts and falls into a deadly trap set by the ambitious northern kingdoms. When she learns how deep the evil still reaches, Ekala begins to question who she can trust. The mystic Larma, the Stone Cutter’s Daughter, and the King’s Frog Hunter–with their powerful animal companions–join Ekala Oleen to battle the insidious forces rising to destroy her and seize control of Ameram. The fate of her prophecy and the kingdom depends on the strength of their faith in one another and trusting in the messages of Stone Truth.
