To Bury Their Parents

In this sequel to For Love of Their Children, the village of Starfall is confronted with the costs of winning the war ten years ago. They sacrificed more than they knew: lives, virtue, and the innocence of their children. Now, as Gareth and his friends come of age in a frightening and chaotic world, the past comes back to haunt them. Long-forgotten enemies rise up to find no heroes left at the Starfall. Old heroes will awaken from their slumber and new heroes will be forged. Far away, south of any lands on the maps in Hitai, a new threat rises. An emperor driven by another fallen god strives to perfect all the people in every land - or kill them in the attempt. Hitai and the Starfall lay in her path. Virtue and innocence are for the living. The god of the lake knows nothing of these things. Once again, war is coming, and it will use Gareth and his friends to get what it wants: fire and blood.
