Earthbow, Volume 1

Cenoc, the self-styled Lord of Latimus, learns of hidden treasures that can make him even more powerful. Few dare oppose his will, even as they witness his growing madness. However, a remnant stand in his way.
Sherry Thompson · March 2010 · No comments · for adults, teens + young adults

And so begins the warleader’s descent into darkness …

Cenoc, the self-styled Lord of Latimus, learns of hidden treasures that can make him even more powerful. Few dare oppose his will, even as they witness his growing madness. However, a remnant stand in his way: a newly knighted young man who is torn between his mission and an overwhelming desire for revenge; an enchanter-initiate who finds himself facing terrors even greater than the danger of opposing Cenoc; a teen Outworlder from Earth who has been gifted with the Earthbow and told he will learn its purpose — just before his mentor abandons him. Return to the world of Narenta in the first installment of Sherry Thompson’s Earthbow.

Part 1 of book 2 (followed by part 2) of the Narenta Tumults series.
