Legion of the Air
Having visited the Lord of Death and Life and learned the ways of dark magicks and the evil curse placed upon his shoulders, Brion Rouwen returns to the Kingdom of Gan seeking justice against his enemies in Legion of the Air, the second book in Robert E. Vardeman's Accursed trilogy. Armed with not only the knowledge of a spell book, but also his own battalion of airy warriors, Rouwen is finally ready -- with the exiled Queen Diarra in tow -- to put things right.
Rouwen's refusal to rest until King Priowe and his henchman Duke Sosler have been destroyed is still the engine that drives the narrative forward, but where most trilogies are content to slip into a midstream lull, Vardeman keeps excitement high by expounding on his mythology, drawing his central characters into even sharper focus, and incorporating twists that are equal parts fun, horrifying, and unforgettable. Even in the thick of it, The Accursed remains fantasy of the highest order.
Genre: Fantasy
