Whispers of a strange prophecy. A new darkness rises. Par's adventures continue in the second book of Rick Duffy's award-winning The Sigil Masters. With the very curse Par sought to undo, he battled a mortal threat to the world. But there was a cost. His steadfast friend now wages a war with inner demons. A beautiful forest nymph-and close companion-has been lost. And despite his trials and sacrifices, Par remains labeled an abomination. He must guard his secrets while the shadow of his old life follows. But a chilling new shadow looms: cold, clawing, hungry-and in Par's own reflection. Even the Eminence, the most powerful of any in Eloria, is no match for this monstrous force. In a quest for allies, Par must flee to enemy lands of forbidden magic. And where he last battled the power of the Higher Realms, this time, he must fight the Lower. Long-forgotten secrets of the Immortus and the Vigil will be revealed in the captivating Book 2 of The Sigil Masters, Dark Reckoning.
