The Earthrin Stones Book 2 of 3: Trials of Faith: Inheritance of a Sword and a Path - Earthrin Stones Douglas Van Dyke

The gods of Dhea Loral once signed a peaceful Covenant to end the wars they raged on mortal soil. Now that the realm has recovered, several endeavor to inflame old grudges. This time, they are limited to using mortal followers to carry out their plots.




Four years of study have honed Trestan's mind, heart and sword arm. With Cat at his side, he embarks on a holy quest to finish his training as a paladin. What he doesn't realize is that the quest will begin amidst the devastation of his home village. The wizard Revwar and the dark cleric Savannah have returned with new allies. The relics that were once recovered will again be the subject of a renewed struggle. A pursuit will encompass two continents; including a chase in city streets, a deadly struggle above the clouds, and encounters deep within an unmapped wilderness which humans dare not tread.




The key to unlocking the mysterious history of the Earthrin Stones is found...buried in a dark page of Cat's past.




Trials of Faith is the sequel to The Earthrin Stones 1 of 3: Inheritance of a Sword and a Path




Reader's Comment: "The first book was great. This book is stunningly beautiful. ...his characters have grown even more 'real', even more precious. Emotions and actions literally leap from the pages, and I found myself laughing or with wet eyes on more than one occasion. I would recommend this series to any serious fan of fantasy.
