Darkest Pasts: Book Two of the Blade Chronicles

One parallels the past.... One fights the present... One fears the future... Emesos, Ishik and Paolin are stuck in a fight for Stryne against the werewolf onslaught, choosing to make their last stand in the capital. But Emesos' experiences of the past bring even more disturbing news to the group as they learn of the collapsing Altherian Empire and long-dead royal family. And as the past begins to show similarities to the present, they find their lives are not the only thing at risk. So are their friendships.
