Old Bones, Old Ways - by Greyson Black & E Scott Clevenger (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Highston has fallen! Seized with the backing of the New Nobles and the aid of the criminal organization known as Manticore, the capital city of the Khorric Federation is under the occupation of the Investurant Army. Fallout from the brutal insurrection is tearing the once peaceful land asunder and sweeping into the farthest reaches of the realm. Danger and corruption lurk in the shadows, causing chaos and distress.

With their homes destroyed, Jesse, a once lauded thief, and the blacksmith Symon, are forced to turn to the one place of which few dare to speak.. The Undead Kingdom of Vargarden. As they flee from the watchful eyes of their enemies, Jesse and Symon must face their deepest fears and brave an uncharted world to uncover long-forgotten truths of the original War of Night in order to survive.

Secrets will test them as friends. Truth will bond them as brothers. United by their common enemies, Jesse and Symon must reflect on their true natures and find strengths hidden within, to overcome the sinister plots of the Ombramaes, leader of the Investurants.

In "Old Bones, Old Ways", the second installment of "The Manticore's Shadow" series, Jesse and Symon further explore the world of Sainan in an epic adventure of magic, mystery, and self-discovery. Our heroes explore the depths of their friendship and discover new allies along the way, as whispers of prophecy are spoken. "Old Bones, Old Ways" showcases old foes, and introduces new threats, as these two friends must rely on each other once more to survive the new perils awaiting them.
