Product Description
Trapped within the City of Light when it fell to the Empire, James' young friend and companion Miko had been captured by the Empire's forces and is now being taken as a slave into the Empire. The last thing he'd told Miko before they were separated was: 'I'll find you."
Now James, with the help of some new found allies, travels into the Empire to rescue his friend. Acting as a caravan merchant from Cardri, he goes from city to city in his attempt to find his friend.
From the City of Light, to the slave markets of Korazan, even unto the Empire's capital itself, James continues in his search for his friend Miko, unwilling to leave him to his fate.
In this exciting second book of the epic fantasy series, The Morcyth Saga, Brian S. Pratt has continued to give us the heart pounding action that his readers so much enjoyed in the first novel.

Jiron, a knife fighter out of the fight pits, becomes James' steadfast comrade. They have common cause as both Jiron's sister and Miko are being taken to the slave market at Korazan.
Jiron can take anyone with his knives, he has no equal. Later you understand more about the history behind him and his knives which I'll not ruin here.
At times James takes a back seat to Jiron's more worldliness. He is in the fore more often than not. He also ends up rescuing James when he gets captured.
This series needs to be taken as a whole. Some of the things that happen, or that James runs across, doesn't always make a whole lot of sense at the time. But later on in the story you learn how it works into it. At times situations sneak up on you that after the fact you realize you should have seen it coming. Pratt's a great story teller if a bit shaky on editing. Thankfully it gets better as the series progresses.

The second installment of Mr. Pratt's epic fantasy series, Morcyth Saga, is even more intense than the first.
Basic story premise: At the end of the previous book, Miko, James friend and companion, is captured by the slavers during the fall of The City of Light. James plans to rescue his friend. He has the help of two knife fighters, Jiron and Tinok who developed their skill in the Fight Pits of the City of Light.
In this book Mr. Pratt explores some of the consequences of being a slave and shows the misery and horror of being one. By the end of the book the reader learns to hate the Empire and everything it stands for.
James goes from city to city within the Empire in the guise of a caravan merchant from Cardri and causes no end of trouble. The scenes in the cities are especially exciting, such as when they are discovered and have to fight their way out. Fortunately, James has surrounded himself with capable people.
More visits from the enigmatic little creature make you wonder just what his roll is. Are his visits clues, or just pointless entertainment? Don't want to spoil it.
James continues to develop in his magic, creating more interesting and increasingly devastating spells. Again he draws from his repertoire of spells from his role playing days to save his life.
This book is a must read for anyone who read the first one. It doesn't end in a cliffhanger as the first one, but in the end introduces a new level of challenge that James will face in the third installment. It is action packed and intense.

Great for a good nights reading
I think this book is great and yes I know some might say that this book is written by a novice and the world he creates is too simple but I think that's a good thing as it is such... Read more

Rather than spending 70-80 pounds on the series, buy just one book and re-read over and over 7 times. Read more
