Hosteen, aided by his telepathically linked animals, knows that if he can’t stop the killings Arzor will be decimated. Something is killing grazing animals…Īnd has begun to attack humans as well, leaving nothing but the bones of its victims behind.
But nobody has ever experienced a threat like the devastating scourge the natives call Death Which Comes in the Night.
On a planet with alien life forms and untold secrets from it’s pre Human past, there are always dangers in the wild, especially the vast desert and rugged mountain region known as Big Blue. The first new exciting Beast Master adventure in decades!Danger on ArzorBeast Master Hosteen Storm has endured great perils to carve out a life for himself on Arzor, the colony planet he’s called home since the destruction of Earth by the alien Xik. Only if they can survive Kirion’s terrible power can they deliver the dukedom into the peace and prosperity it once knew. As Kars and its people contend with Kirion’s depredations, the warring clan’s raids, and the devastating winter, Aisling and Keelan must somehow, through guile, persistence and ingenuity, find a way to avoid the attention of their dangerous older brother, and save the people from his murderous sorcery. But even as she begins to learn the ways of court power, a brutally cold winter besieges the land, testing the endurance of the people of Kars, who have little cheer in that darkest season. Accompanied also by a catlike telepathic beast, Aisling becomes part of Shastro’s court. Aisling recruits her younger brother Keelan and returns in disguise, determined to undermine Kirion’s power and unseat his evil pawn from the throne. A fatal chain of events is triggered when Kirion pitches the people of Kars into a war with a neighboring clan. The malevolent sorcerer’s dark influence works through Shastro to cast a deadly pall over all of Kars. Since Aisling’s departure, Kirion has tightened his insidious hold on Duke Shastro. Years ago, Aisling fled her native Kars when Kirion, working for the Duke of Kars, tried to kill her. He gains power only by a terrible means: by killing others who wield magic.
The Duke’s Ballad is the tale of Aisling, a young witch from a family gifted with a magical power that she must protect from her brother, Kirion, who wields magic unlike the rest of the family’s.
