The second novel of the acclaimed Sun Sword series returns to a war-torn world of noble houses divided and demon lords unleashed...
The King’s Challenge—it was a proving ground for warriors in the Essalieyan Empire, the hallowed contest that made legends of men. And for Valedan, last survivor of the ruling family of the Dominion, it was a declaration of his right to claim the throne stolen from the Leonne clan by treachery and assassination.
Failure to earn the title of King’s Champion would not deprive Valedan of either his Dominion or Essalieyan allies, but winning would announce to the world that he was no callow boy, no mere pawn in the games of power. And the games of power were indeed being played—not only in the Empire and Dominion, but in the far more dangerous realm of the Lord of Night.
As the time of the Challenge neared, Valedan and all those who guarded him would be hard-pressed to survive long enough for him to enter the competition. For the demon kin had been set to hunt him down and destroy him. They had failed before though many innocents had paid for the price. They must not fail again, for slaying Valedan was but the opening gambit in a war that would free the Lord of Night to reign over all the mortal world....

      To prove his claim to a throne stolen from his family, Valedan kai di'Leonne seeks to win the contest known as the King's Challenge. As forces of magic and politics array themselves against Valedan, he finds unexpected allies in unlikely places. This sequel to The Broken Crown (NAL, 1997) delivers a lushly complex tale of dynastic intrigue and martial prowess that should appeal to fans of panoramic fantasy.
