A Warrior's Knowledge, Book 2

The Castes and the OutCastes

By: Davis Ashura

Narrated by: Nick Podehl

With A Warrior's Path, Davis Ashura introduced fans to Arisa, an ancient world rich with history and myth where humanity struggles to survive the never-ending battle with the demon Suwraith and her hordes of Chimeras. Now Ashura's best-selling epic continues with A Warrior's Knowledge.

Rukh Shektan and Jessira Grey struggle to reach the OutCaste city of Stronghold before winter's snow bars all passages. Their travels test Rukh's will and hope as Chimeras hound their footsteps, but the most difficult challenge proves to be Stronghold itself. The city is not as Jessira described.

Rector Bryce and Mira Terrell form a reluctant alliance. Rector is forced to do the bidding of Dar'El Shektan - the man he betrayed - and works with Mira. They seek a means to bring down House Shektan's most bitter rival, Hal'El Wrestiva, the man responsible for Rukh's banishment. Meanwhile, Bree and Jaresh continue their search for the Sil Lor Kum. Danger lurks, and the withering knife murders continue as Hal'El Wrestiva, the SuDin of the Sil Lor Kum, furthers his own intentions.

And high in the heavens and watching over the world is Suwraith. Her clouded mind is clear for the first time in millennia, and she makes her own plans. The sorrow bringer has learned of Stronghold's existence.

The Enemy of My Enemy is my Brother!

A warrior's Knowledge, Book 2 is an uplifting sequel!!
It begins where Book 1 left off. In this book plot ties made in the first book are strengthened. We get to know the characters more: some come through tribulation stronger and wiser while others completely give over to their darkest nature even knowing it leads to insanity.
I really grew to care for the characters especially Rukh and Ida.
Character development all throughout the book is strong. The chosen few that have accepted old enemies as "friends" and shared their mind with powerful wild beast slowly- through their actions and choices- begin to spread hope for a new more unified world. More and more people are asking themselves hard questions which begin opening up their heart for new ideas to take root.
I really enjoyed this book. I laughed out loud, cheered for those in peril and cried for those whom faced the end with courage.
Well worth a credit!

excellent!

Narration was excellent! Story was hard to stop listening crazy cliff hanger at the end can't what until the next book

Great continuation...but...

What did you love best about A Warrior's Knowledge, Book 2?

The author either needed more material or is a romantic since a large portion of the story was romance! Not what I wanted to hear, given the excitement of the story line.

Also, like the first book, the constant harping on the bigotry among the different segments of the society was boring, while aggravating at the same time!

But, I will look forward to the next book, albeit, not sure why it isn't available yet?

great continuation

Great series and diverse character development. you really get attached to some of the characters.

I'm a Fan

This series has everything you could hope for in Epic Fantasy: love, loss, fraternity, forbidden love, magic, evil creatures, misunderstood creatures, evil goddesses, enchanted weapons, telepath lions, battle, cultural politics, spies, adventure, hidden cities, linked fighters (annex), and much more. Of course, Nick Podehl brings life to even average books, but the combo makes for a story I can hardly put down.
