Rise of the Abrogators (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781735427294)

Sometimes the Giver gives, and sometimes the Taker takes.

On the Borderlands, Kaellor and Reddevek reunite, but their plans to thwart Tarkannen already face several obstacles. Before returning to Stone's Grasp, they must determine if it is possible to reconcile with Savnah and Dexxin's treasonous affiliation with the Lacuna. Laryn offers a plan to mitigate the damage the circle breakers have sewn in the kingdom, but Kaellor wonders if her solution is more risky than a wager with the Taker. Despite the dangers, they lift their eyes to the horizon and press on toward Callinora.

In Stone's Grasp, Therek Lefledge, cultivates unusual resources to combat the growing Lacuna menace. He relies on the steadfast counsel of Vice Regent Chancle Lellendule and presses Ksenia Balladuren into clandestine service. Their reactions to the ever-increasing political pressures will shape the kingdom's future, for better or worse.

Warden Reddevek enjoys the company of his ward, Ranika. He protects her secret and comes to rely on her growing power. But she is just one of the abrogators gaining strength on Karsk.

Volencia coordinates with a unique umbral, the shamans of the Brognaus clan, and even grondle to see her dark plans come together.

Can the royal family and those loyal to the old ways stop Tarkannen before he breaks free from his confinement in the Drift? Even if they contain the rise of the abrogators, can they survive the tensions that threaten to destroy the kingdom from within?
