Sign of the White Raven: Book 2 of the Chronicles of Aertu

Though safe, for the moment, Aleron and his companions find themselves stranded in Kolixtla, capital city of Sudea's fiercest enemy.  They managed to rescue his betrothed, Eilowyn, daughter to the Steward of Sudea, but at the loss of Aleron's magical abilities.  Now, the group must find their way home across half a continent.  Meanwhile, Zormat, King of Arkus and son of the Nameless One journeys to recover Zadehmal, the Adversary's weapon of power.  Can the Sudeans make it home in time to prepare the kingdom for the threat of the Adversary walking free once again?  More importantly, will Aleron regain his powers in time to face the Nameless God in the inevitable battle to come?
