The Scourge of Narak Valerie Mechling

A tyrant toppled, anarchy reigns.

The emperor, Kamgue, is dead; his Seal, the world's protection from the demonic legions of Narak, is shattered. Now they are free to rampage through the Seventh Empire, threatening the entire world. And the emperor's assassin, Telsharu the Cursed, has become their putative new sovereign.

ShianMai, the dead emperor's young daughter, has become just one refugee among many, fleeing the Imperial City for her life. Along the way, she encounters unforeseen foes, unexpected allies, unpredicted love-and an undreamt role to play in the future of the empire.

The hero Hanu Zan and his new apprentice, Xansul, journey across the empire seeking the help of ancient Guardians, the only force that might be able to stop the onslaught.

The Scourge of Narak weaves a riveting tale of courage and friendship, leadership and love, and valor and sacrifice - a stirring continuation of The Tale of Telsharu, Book One of the Tales of the Seventh Empire.
