Description
Knights of the Balanced Scales have ventured to every corner of Durnia—but Xier may be the first to step foot beneath its surface.
After their startling discoveries at Sundhaven, Xieraine Laedrin and Ruthana Karple journey to the neighboring town of Brinvale, hoping to discover the reason for the excessive amounts of delnium being shipped there.
But, of course, finding those answers isn’t going to be easy. And the mystery only deepens when their investigation leads them into the bowels of Durnia, where a strange, technologically advanced organization seems to be in on the scheme. With an army of golems at their disposal, it’s clear that they’re a force to be reckoned with—the only question is what exactly they and their allies hope to achieve.
As if all of that isn’t enough, Xier and Ruthana have their own personal issues to contend with as well. Xier grapples with the feelings left behind after his time as Aldorn’s prisoner, and Ruthana’s powers have started to behave strangely, making them difficult to control. But their enemies move quickly, so Xier and Ruthana must do the same—it may be their only hope of getting out of this conflict alive.
The Sword Golem is a 35,000 word fantasy story, the 12th in the Rise of the Oathsworn series. (Book 2 of 5 of the Grasping Shadows storyline.)
