Waymaker

The Pearlsong Refounding, Book Two

By: Michael Warden

Narrated by: Stacy Carolan

A troubled loner.
An impossible quest.
How do you save the world
when you can’t even save yourself?

WITH the rediscovery of the legendary Book of Dei'lo, the lines of war have been drawn across the Inherited Lands. Behind their mystically fortified walls, opposing forces are massing for the ultimate conflict, pitting the two languages of power against one another in open battle for the first time. The results of such a war can be nothing short of cataclysmic…

At the focal point of this coming apocalypse stands Gideon Dawning, a troubled loner and stranger to the Lands who has been marked by prophecy as the Waymaker for the Pearl. His charge: to recover a sentient orb of power that has been lost for over 2,000 years, and bring it safely to Wordhaven. If he succeeds, there is a chance he may avert the war and usher in a new Endless Age. But the quest is perilous, and there are many who would see Gideon fail—Sa'lei Lords of staggering power, and their corrupted minions within the Deathland Barrens. Yet an even greater danger lurks within realms Gideon cannot see...where a living evil quietly plots to rend his very soul.

With all the perils that lie before him, Gideon is certain of only this: He must try. For if he cannot find the way to the Pearl, all hope will be lost—not just for the Lands, but for himself.
