The Children of Fire-four mortals touched by the power of Chaos-each
embody one aspect of a fallen and banished immortal champion: Keegan,
the wizard; Scythe, the warrior; Cassandra, the prophet; Vaaler, the
king. Grown to adulthood, the Children are in search of the ancient
Talismans that can stop the return of Daemron the Slayer, ancient enemy
of the Old Gods. But in acquiring Daemron's Ring, they unleashed a flood
of Chaos magic on the land-leaving death, destruction, and a vengeful
queen in their wake. and Now, beset on all sides by both mortal
and supernatural enemies, they realize that their strength and faith
will be tested as never before. And their greatest trial will be finding
Daemron's Sword, the last of the ancient Talismans, before the entire
mortal world is engulfed in the war and Chaos that will herald the
return of the Slayer.Praise for The Scorched Earth and
“[Drew] Karpyshyn's doom-laden spin on myth and magic invigorates
ancient archetypes in the second entry of the Chaos Born trilogy. . . .
The journey is complicated by unnerving ambiguity, grim imagery, and
pessimistic overtones, as if Michael Moorcock's decadence were filtered
through J.R.R. Tolkien's heroism. -Publishers Weekly and
