In The Earth Abides The Flame: Book Two, The Fire of Heaven Trilogy

A light to defy the darkness - Battered and bruised, suffering grievous loss, the Company enter the great city of Instruere. There they must warn the Council of Faltha of the Destroyer's threat. But they do not expect the depth of treachery that awaits them. Bhrudwo's tentacles go far deeper into Faltha than even Mahnum realises. The City is divided against itself, with the Watchers on whom Kurr pins his hopes nowhere to be found. And with the arrival of a disturbing stranger with fearful powers, the factions in Instruere rapidly reach flash point. Only one thing can unite a land wracked with mistrust - but can it be found? Or, as the Company fears, is the Jugom Ark merely a legend?
