Publisher's Synopsis
The Path of the Chosen delves into a turbulent era within the world of Theras, where shadows of betrayal loom over its most sacred institutions. Athol, one of the Baru-the Chosen clerics blessed with divine magic-returns home across the treacherous waters of Abzu, only to discover that his dearest friend and mentor, Josiah, Asad Alkanisiah and Master of the D'Tal, has been murdered, his legacy tarnished, and his place usurped. Now, Athol finds himself caught between two callings: seeking justice for his friend's death and guiding the new generation of Chosen in their path of faith and power.
But Athol's mission is fraught with danger. As he follows a twisted trail of heresy, treachery, and deceit, he discovers secrets that threaten the very foundation of the Kerk itself. Through his journey, he must learn to balance his role as both a mentor and an avenger, battling his own thirst for vengeance even as he leads his young neophytes through the trials that could make-or break-them as Clerics.
Interwoven with the lives of familiar figures like Taoma, Stellan, and Carinna from The Tale of the Thief, The Path of the Chosen takes readers deeper into the mystery and mythos of Theras, revealing unexpected connections and dark secrets. This highly anticipated second novel in the Ice Age of Theras saga is a captivating exploration of faith, power, and the price of justice..
