by C.S. Wachter
The Light Arises continues Rayne’s epic quest to reclaim the seven hidden scrolls of the One and stop the rising darkness threatening to enslave the worlds of Ochen. When a prophetic dream sends him to the isolated world of Veres, Rayne must once again assume the identity of the warrior-slave Wren to infiltrate the brutal Sorial games. Meanwhile, rebel leader Lady Alexianndra Erland plans to kidnap the visiting prince—never suspecting he may be the very assassin who shattered her life. As truth comes to light, Rayne and Lexi must confront vengeance, destiny, and a calling that could change every world forever.
The Light Arises is epic fantasy. Themes of trust, hope, and redemption thread through Rayne’s story as he continues his journey to reclaim the seven hidden scrolls of the One and defeat the rising darkness that would enslave the worlds of Ochen.
In the fullness of time, the Light Bringer will arise. The lost will be found and he will bring to light my seven words hidden on the seven worlds, and I will guide his steps.
When Rayne dreams of a golden-haired girl and hears the voice of the One calling him to bring light to Veres, he knows the scroll he must seek next is the Words of the One to Veres. But only those involved with the brutal games staged by the powerful Sorial merchants are allowed access to Veres. To infiltrate the games and skip to the isolated world, Rayne must, once again, become the warrior-slave Wren.
Lady Alexianndra Erland’s world was shattered three years ago when a young assassin destroyed her home and disabled her father. Now she leads the rebel faction. When news reaches her that the royal Prince of all Ochen is at the Andersen House Gaming Complex, Lexi devises a plan to compel King Theodor to help her people. Her strategy? Kidnap the prince when he leaves the games and use him to gain the king’s attention.
But when morning light reveals the truth, will Lexi find her hoped-for leverage with the king—or the assassin of her nightmares? And will Rayne be able to convince the girl of his dream to look past her desire for vengeance long enough for him to fulfill his calling?
