Tainted Vessels

The Sum of Ages, Book 2

By: Benjamin Schwarting

Narrated by: Zac Aleman

Their scent is on the wind. Their blood is in the tides. They are coming.

Wrongly accused of treason, Corin has been imprisoned by the very city he fought to save. With his brother murdered, his family disgraced, and the demon storm surging ever closer across the plains, Corin must place his faith in two unfamiliar guards who claim to be able to smuggle him to the outlands.

But time is growing short, and the storm is drawing near.

Having salvaged the ancient armor from the very jaws of Naraka, Olenka and her crew have returned to Lunsod sa Dagat. Unable to deny her prophetic visions any longer, Olenka has grudgingly agreed to confront the monks. Now, she has been whisked back into the life of rites and relics she abandoned in her youth.

And she has foreseen a new calamity rising up from the abyss.

With nothing left to hold back the coming blight, Corin and Olenka must race to find the strength to defend their people. Three hundred years after the ancient hero first repulsed the demon armies, can they too learn what it takes to bear the light?

Or will they be proven weak and tainted vessels?

Complex societies, different cultures, and deep friendships make this coming-of-age fantasy series perfect for fans of M.L. Wang, Brandon Sanderson, Jeff Wheeler, and Patrick Rothfuss.
