Owyn is a ranger's apprentice. Zara is a mage's ward. Both hold the fate of the world in their hands.
The Arc of Radiance has stood for a thousand years, protecting what's left of the world from an ancient evil. But when demons begin to break through the magical barrier, Owyn and Zara become involved in a war that has lasted millennia.
If they can convince their people that the threat is real, then perhaps they can survive. If not, then the Eleven Hells will be unleashed upon the world of men...

Although I love watching epic fantasies on the big and small screen, it’s not my choice of reading genre. My poor brain struggles with unusual settings and names. 😉 Therefore, I chose not to read this one.

About Blake Arthur Peel
Blake Arthur Peel has been coming up with stories ever since he was a kid. He inflicted his scribblings on family members and friends throughout his youth, always drawing maps in the back of notebooks and daydreaming when he probably should have been paying attention. It wasn’t until he was out of college that he finally decided to get serious about pursuing his career as a fantasy author.
His favorite stories have always been about good conquering evil, about fantastic worlds and wondrous magic systems. The works that have most inspired him are The Lord of the Rings, The Dragonlance Chronicles, The Riftwar Saga, The Stormlight Archive, and The Wheel of Time, among many others.
Blake was born and raised in Hemet, California. Nowadays, he lives in Tennessee with his wife and two sons.
