VERO BEACH, Fla. - s4story -- Vanquished Vampires Are Not the Only Threat in Book 2 of Series

Peace is flourishing in the land of Sarvania now that the Vampire Emperor has been destroyed. But can the peace last?

The dominion army, led by Thorn the chosen one, has returned to settle into this peaceful existence. But a new threat from the distant land of Devil's Claw Canyon is about to rear its ugly head.

Strange things have begun happening in Sarvania, including the theft from the monks of the secret "Eye of Shalizar." Thorn dispatches the monk Shingo to the wizard's order, located in the vampires' old castle in the Shadow Mountains. When Shingo goes missing, Thorn and his companions search for the monk.

Meanwhile, Shingo speaks to the old wizard Montizar, describing a black stone that he found on the floor of his room . . .

The same night of the eye's disappearance.

"It's not like any stones that are found near, or around the outskirts of the city," he added.

"Hmmm strange indeed," uttered the old wizard. "This looks to be a piece of Brim Lock. It's a mineral deposit found deep inside Devil's Claw Canyon, past the desert wastelands, far north of the Shadow Mountains. I wonder, who or what could have traveled so far to steal the Eye of Shalizar?"
