(World of Arcas #2)
Publication date: October 2nd 2015
Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult
Synopsis:
Jackson returns to Arcas expecting to find peace—a peace greatly lacking within his own home. But when a violent archer takes over as Lord of the White Palace, the future of the ancient kingdoms is shaken.
Frightening creatures have overtaken the beautiful Starling Forest, destroying everything in their path. Jackson and Nekkar narrowly escape the beasts together, but Nekkar blames the Son of Earth for releasing the present darkness in Arcas. The rocky, new friendship strengthens as they journey through dangerous lands toward the Free Realms. Can their loyalties survive when the beautifully gutsy Princess Andromeda interrupts their quest and the darkness of war batters their souls?
While Rigel, Otava, and Merope work together to rescue the six sisters trapped at the White Palace, Sephdar returns from shadowy crusades to find White Wings’ army leaderless. The new self-proclaimed ruler has a plan for the Seven Sisters and a plan for The Bridge to Earth. But when his ambitious arrows pierce the peaceful kingdoms, an unlikely force confronts the dark lord and the future of the crowns is changed forever.
Hold to your axe and hold to your lass as you join Jackson to combat the darkness spreading through the world of Arcas. But remember, the most powerful arrows do not pierce the body but the soul.

Arrows of Darkness Excerpt
“Mark the door!” Scruuutch.
“The queen’s not in this room!” Scruuutch.
An axe scraped across a heavy wooden
door each time a room was cleared. “Someone’s alive! Come quickly!” another
shouted for help.
King Alderamin squeezed the handle of
his axe until his knuckles blanched. He could no longer control the passion
inside him. Water flowed to his eyes while anger fought like a dam to hold back
the flood of sorrow. With no destination in mind, he began running, running,
running through the glass and the blood and the toppled bricks. He had arrived
too late to outrun the enemy, but perhaps he could outrun the guilt.
Suddenly, the scenery changed.
Everything felt untouched as he reached the back hallway. Every mirror was still
perfectly intact, every wall still standing. And there was his light brown face
in image after image with blood-shot, yellow-brown eyes looking back at him.
“RAAAAAHHHH!” He viciously swung his
axe right and left, shattering each image that now looked detestable and
pathetic to him. Crash! Crash! Crash! Shards of glass blasted from the sharpened edge of his axe
as it collided with the mirrors covering every wall. But the last unblemished
mirror that he swung the heavy weapon into didn’t respond as the others. His
axe didn’t just sink into the glass; it sunk into the wall itself. The king
jerked and yanked, but the iron head stuck firmly. In anger and frustration, he
kicked the mirrored wall.
Click-click. Alderamin
froze as the wall sprang open. Grabbing the edge of the solid door that was
hiding behind a reflective façade, memories fell upon him like rain saturating
a thirsty ground. I know this place, he realized, peering into the dusky staircase. Entering the
dim passage, he slowly exhaled and inhaled to tame the wild breath of emotions
that exited his lungs moments ago. For a moment, the world behind faded. His
fingers traced along the stones on the passageway, but what he felt was a hand
interlocked in his, pulling him forward. Pulling him Down.
