"War is hard. Sometimes, peace is even harder." Silken Waters transports readers back to the Vale, a realm governed by magic and ruled by the ancient and powerful races of elves and vampires. These two races have been at odds for thousands of years, forbidden to associate, much less fall in love. In the sequel to Child of Dawn, Rennault, the leader of the Bradach, a faction of vampire pirates, must face the changes brought by the newfound peace in the Vale. When his and other bradach's way of life is threatened, he seeks to save his right to rule the waters. Little does he know that this endeavor will take him on an adventure that will change not only his life but also the lives of everyone living in the Vale. He will be challenged in love, brotherhood, and choosing between what is right and what is easy.
Category: BooksSilken Waters, the second installment in The Legends of the Vale, expands the scope of the series beyond the land-bound tensions of Child of Dawn and into the volatile, lawless waters that surround the Vale.
The fragile peace between elves and vampires, hard-won in the first book, is already beginning to unravel. Though war has quieted, it has not ended—it has simply changed form. As one line encapsulates:
“War is hard. Sometimes, peace is even harder.”
This novel explores what happens after prophecy—when survival gives way to consequence.
