Présentation de l'éditeur
Konowa Swift Dragon was once commander of the Iron Elves, the legendary Elven regiment of the human army of the Calahrian Empire. Now recalled from exile and disgrace, he is second-in-command of the reconstituted regiment -- a motley band of misfits who are elves in name alone. Konowa's destiny is to stand against the looming threat of the Shadow Monarch, whose destructive ambitions have called down an alien power from the stars and riven the land with all manner of ancient evils. The same Shadow Monarch whose tainted mark he bears...
His quest leads Konowa deep into the desert wastes: the burning lands to which the original Iron Elves were banished. There he and his current companions must face trials beyond their imagining, to learn how to defeat the Shadow Monarch for all time.

Quatrième de couverture
THE SEQUEL TO A DARKNESS FORGED IN FIRE
Outcast from his own kind, driven by a destiny he never asked for and wielding a terrible power he can barely control, Konowa Swift Dragon spearheads the first line of defence against the elf-witch known as the Shadow Monarch, whose ambitions are tearing apart the very fabric of the world.
Konowa's misfits - the new Iron Elves - have been forged by adversity into a formidable fighting force. Blooded in battle and bound by an oath that is stronger than death itself, they will need all their courage in the desert wastes where a second Star has fallen and a new and deadly enemy is rising.
And for Konowa, another piece of the puzzle that is his destiny awaits...
'A gutsy fantasy set in a world of imperial greed and magical plotting, with an eye for the ordinary soldier's plight that would have done Kipling proud'
