Raven's Shadow Books in Order

Given to the warrior monks of the Sixth Order as a child, Vaelin Al Sorna is forged into a weapon of the Faith. As politics and prophecy pull him into brutal wars, he begins to question the king and god he serves.

After the Unified Realm's dream of unity collapses in blood, Vaelin returns home vowing never to kill again and is named Tower Lord of a remote border. Peace will not last, as rival powers and old enemies move against the fractured kingdom.

Imperial chronicler Lord Verniers records the last desperate stand between Kethia and the conquering Volarian Empire, as mercenary king Tavurek leads his army against a host commanded by the Spear point. History, however, is clouded by Dark magic and buried motives.
