The second novel in J. David Baxter's epic portal fantasy series, the Greymantle Chronicles.

After surviving and defeating a plot to plunge the continent into war, Nate loves his new life. He has been awarded a knighthood and a position in the Royal Guard, where he has made good friends, as close as family. Unfortunately, he is torn by the need to get back home to save his sister from the consequences of his mysterious disappearance. Given a chance to petition the most powerful mage in the kingdom for help, he may soon have to decide between magic and the sword, thanks to guild politics, or face dire consequences. He may even find a surprising chance for romance. Still, none of it will matter if he can't survive assassination attempts from Blood Mage agents out for revenge.

Set in a unique world of swords and magic that is medieval in flavor but seen through the lens of a modern college student from Earth, the Greymantle Chronicles are an epic fantasy series in a high magic fantasy world where technology and science never existed. Yet, cities are cleaner, banking is done with magic tokens, floating carts are used to haul freight, and magic is a science in its own right.

J. David Baxter is the author of the Greymantle Chronicles. J. David would say his career path has been varied and strange, from falling off horses for a living as a Renaissance festival jouster to managing teams and projects at Fortune 500 companies. He graduated with a degree in English and earned teaching certifications in English, history, and professional pedagogy. Most recently, he was editor on the Stargate SG-1 Roleplaying Game: Core Rulebook produced by Wyvern Games. He is also cofounder of Silver Paw Publishing, a firm dedicated to helping new authors navigate the world of self-publishing.

A. W. Miller was a voice actor before he even knew what he was doing. From a young age he started performing character voices for the entertainment of his friends and family. Then he forgot he could do all that until he started working as the creative services director for several radio stations. But he wouldn't find his permanent footing in voice acting until after he was halfway through a fifteen-year teaching career and his wife said to him one day: "Hey, have you thought about being an audiobook narrator?" After picking up his dropped jaw, Miller and his wife converted a closet into a professional home studio and then he never looked back. For almost a decade he's been lending his voices to audiobooks, video games, and commercials. He is a father, husband, homesteader, and a published author. He's so passionate about audiobooks that he taught his wife to edit and now they are the dynamic VO duo! Miller lives with his wife on their five-acre homestead in middle Tennessee, where they care for their two heifers, pigs, thirty-ish chickens, and a menagerie of cats and dogs.
