Hinterland

In James Clemens' gripping fantasy sequel, "Hinterland," the disgraced Shadowknight Tylar finds his tumultuous journey for truth seemingly vindicated. Once branded a Godslayer and a hunted criminal after witnessing a deity's demise and being healed by its blood, Tylar is miraculously reinstated into the esteemed Order of Shadowknights. However, this redemption is a cruel illusion, as the ancient Citadel of Tashijan, the very heart of the Shadowknights, becomes a deathtrap. Forces from the menacing Ice Eyrie, led by the enigmatic Naethyn, unleash a brutal siege, trapping Tylar and his allies within the hallowed walls. Despite Tylar's formidable skill and burgeoning magic, he discovers that the peril isn't merely external. A insidious plot runs deep within the Order itself, revealing that the malevolent Cabal has infiltrated the inner council. With their sanctuary compromised and betrayal at its core, Tylar and his companions are forced to flee, understanding that true refuge from such pervasive evil has become an impossibility.
