A March of Kings

A March of Kings is the second novel in the Host of Man sub-series, and the fifth in the Doom of Man story arc, written by author Brett Hunter.

Plot
The journey of the Host of Man continues, now shadowed by the First Horde. Valdamir worries that supplies will run out before Um’taran is reached. Boreran, meanwhile, feels that someone close to him, who is a spy of the Dark God, is watching him.

Alutun continues his trek, slowly catching up with the Host of Man, marching through the ruined wilderness of the North. A traveller and his three allies join him, but their journey will be far more perilous than they think, and nobody can be trusted in this tough world.

Meanwhile, Nyorvanor rules the prostrate Empire, which possesses almost no army. He fears the return of the Kyonsi, or the rise of both at the same, sparking a war the Empire cannot win. He begins to plan a defence.
