<p><strong>In the Kingdom of Durundal, hearts will be broken, loved ones lost and thrones burned.</strong> </p>
<p>Saskia remembers when the soil of Durundal hummed with peace, and the future of the kingdom brimmed with prosperity. </p>
<p>But everything changed the night her home was attacked. </p>
<p>On the orders of the ruthless King Segan Hezekiah, she finds herself imprisoned in a tower awaiting a fate worse than death, her father has been taken to the dark labyrinths of the mine to dig for gold, and her people are forced to work in the adjoining grounds. The only person with the power to help is locked up in the mines alongside her father, and anyone who disobeys the king, or tries to escape, is targeted and killed. </p>
<p>As danger lurks at every turn and guards prowl every corner, Saskia feels more helpless than ever ... but is she? </p>
<p>Sometimes, only the direst need can teach us our own depths, and Saskia has yet to discover what she is capable of. </p>
<p><strong>'THE INEXTINGUISHABLE FIRE OF A WOMAN, SMOULDERING IN THE SHADOWS.'</strong> **</p>

It grabs you into the story so much that you feel the grit on your face, the dirt between your toes, the sunshine on your face. It makes your heart wrench, your stomach twist and your head thinking about what's next.<br>It has the emotions of life and yes I cried in a few parts. <br>I cannot wait for the next book. * </em>This is a great read that has trials, heart, gusto, emotions and a touch of magic.

<p><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: 600">*</span><strong>*It's not until you're broken - that you discover what's worth fighting for.</strong> </p>
<p>Cornelius has returned from exile to reclaim his birthright and take back control of the empire. Offering a peace treaty with the clans, he approaches Namir, an adversary from old, with whom he seeks to make amends. </p>
<p>However, the clan is suspicious of Cornelius. Concerned that his intentions are not entirely honourable. Worried that his agenda is the same as the emperor before him; steeped with motives in a lust for power to bring down the Kingdom of Durundal forever. </p>
<p>Despite the protests from his wife and the rest of the clan, Namir accepts the proposal and ventures to Ataxata to sign the agreement. Though when he doesn't return - suspicions are heightened and they fear the worst. Now the clans will risk everything in a race against time to find the chieftain and save the future of his kingdom. </p>
<p>And only one thing is certain - there will be blood. </p>
<p>'ENTER AN ANCIENT WORLD OF AVARICE, CORRUPTION, AND SURVIVAL.' </p>

<p>*'Read this back to back with first two - A Hare in the Wilderness and A Wolf in the Dark, and would honestly say this is the best so far! Any more please!!' </p>
<p>'Great story. Good character development and exciting story. Would recommend this to anyone who enjoys escaping through a good book!!' </p>
<p>'In this third part, more shocking secrets are revealed as the various paths start to navigate towards each other. With so much attention to detail and historical research, this merely brushes the boundary of fantasy.'<strong> </strong></p>

<h3>From the Author</h3>
<p>The Kingdom of Durundal series is far more than the single genre of fantasy for one particular audience. Rather, it blends into a prestigious crossroads where fantasy meets reality, and the surreal meets the sublime. I wanted to write a series that everyone could read, and I'm happy to provide an exciting, epic story that a wide variety of ages will enjoy. </p></div>]]></description>

<p>They say there are no such things as monsters...but they are wrong...very wrong. When General Domitrius Corbulo launches a brutal attack on Castle Dru in Durundal, the intent is to seize the Seal of Kings for his master - though with the aid of the Imperial Army, he slaughters everyone inside, including the king and queen. Incredibly, the young Prince Lyall escapes and runs for his life through an ancient, disused tunnel - but he is about to discover more than he ever thought possible; events that will change his life forever. Some are harrowing, others are beyond belief, but he never loses sight of his past. As he approaches adulthood, he is pulled in two directions, and has to choose which path to take. The question is: will he remain where he is - or will he seek vengeance and regain his rightful place on the throne? ReviewsOnce again, I found the backdrop of Turner's story to be riveting and inspiring, in A Wolf in the Dark, even more so, since a large part of the story takes place at the Emperor's Court. The fact that the Clans people have so much wisdom, knowledge, and appreciation for the beauty of the earth stands in sharp contrast to the false assumptions and selfish ways of the wicked Emperor and his General. An admirable cast of characters including young men Lyall and Namir, Clan leader, Laith, and the heroic and ingenious Skyrah are knit together in ways that are both endearing and very satisfying. I loved the way Skyrah caused trouble and yet saved the day, allowing an exceptional young woman to shine. I loved that even the evil General had a tender side. The book explores complex themes and is very absorbing and engaging. I highly recommend this entire series. A Wolf in the Dark by S.E. Turner grabbed me at page one and never let go. A child's nightmare comes true. Things get worse from there. Eloquent descriptions of the locale and events brought to mind vivid, flowing images of action and beautiful scenery. The characters were as human and driven by duty as any I have read elsewhere. A beautifully told coming of age tale.</p></div>]]></description>
