A reluctant king. A fractured past. A dark lord poised to strike.
Darius Rarkez never asked for the crown. But when his father's funeral is shattered by an attack from the dark lord's spawn, the outlaw-turned-king faces an impossible choice: Break a 900-year feud and unite with Elron, or face certain doom.
To succeed, he must confront King Jefor, a man he once betrayed, and offer a sacrifice that could cost him his newly acquired crown—and his life.
As Kaudon's shadows press against the Great Wall, Darius and his loyal few race through hostile lands, where he is haunted by visions, hunted by Vraqor's horrors, and burdened by truths that threaten to rewrite his blood, his future, and everything he thought he knew.
One thing is certain: the Great Betrayal still divides both realms. And if Darius fails to mend it, the prophecy may end with him.
The Great Betrayal is the fifth gripping entry in The Divided Region, a gritty epic fantasy series. If you crave fast-paced adventure, conflicted heroes, buried sins, and ancient evils rising again, this is your next escape.
