Warhost of Vastmark cover

In Warhost of Vastmark, two half-brothers face betrayal and conflict as they navigate treacherous alliances and personal struggles in a world of magic and enmity.

In Warhost of Vastmark, Janny Wurts weaves an intricate tale of conflict and betrayal as two half-brothers, Lysaer and Arithon, continue their tumultuous journey. The third volume of this epic fantasy series delves deeper into their life-long enmity, marked by the cunning and manipulative nature of their relationship. The story picks up with Lysaer, the Lord of Light, arriving at the harbor town of Merior, only to discover that Arithon's shipyards have been left in ruins and that his half-brother has vanished without a trace.

As the narrative unfolds, Arithon and the Mad Prophet Dakar make their way through the perilous Kelhorn Mountains, seeking to rally support from the Vastmark clans. However, their quest is fraught with challenges, including the unexpected kidnapping of Princess Talith, Lysaer’s determined wife, by a notorious brigand. The stakes are raised as the brothers' paths converge once again, igniting tensions that threaten to erupt into a monumental clash.

The forces of light and shadow are in constant motion, with the Fellowship of Seven Sorcerers and the Koriani Enchantresses lurking in the background, plotting and waiting for the opportune moment to intervene. Warhost of Vastmark not only captivates readers with its rich storytelling but also sets the stage for the impending conflicts that will shape the fate of its characters and the world they inhabit.
