Deceit

After surviving two horrific attacks, Trevor, Dodge, Warren, and Sarah follow the Brotherhood, a small band of mercenaries, to a secret village hidden beyond the peak of the mountains. There, they hope to find peace away from the bloodshed that seems to follow them, but what they find is much more. As acting steward until a new monarch is found, Francis has everything he needs to achieve a world of peace: the throne of power, and a reincarnated god who obeys his every command. However, peace is not so easily achieved. Deceit lurks within every shadow, and Francis struggles to stay two steps ahead of his enemies, who also happen to be his closest allies. He has sacrificed everything to get what he needs, but will it be enough? Cast out of his village, Quiver's journey leads to a brother he thought long dead, through a dangerous country with a violent history toward his people. With memories of war on his mind, there is one southern face that Quiver hopes never to see again, an old enemy from the battlefield: the Wolf. Alric has spent every day trying to forget the bloody deeds he has committed, but it seems his past has officially caught up with him, and it has perverted his one good memory into something horrific. Haunted at every moment, no matter how hard Alric resists, the animal clawing inside him is begging to be set free.
