The troop survived Resthaven. But survival was just the beginning.
Donnor leads his ragtag force of villagers, conscripts, and outsiders deeper into the southern reaches of the Serensea. Their mission: find and defend the last remaining settlements from the ondilaan. But the enemy has changed-and so has the troop.
As Tommy comes into his own as both a mage and a chronicler, he wrestles with the burden of power, the scars of war, and the discovery of a lineage that shakes his identity. Beside him, Arisaylia's magic deepens beyond her control, while Donnor is haunted by a loss he cannot afford to repeat.
In the villages, foothills, and the ruined fields of the south, the troop finds not only battles-but betrayals, hard choices, and the truths that threaten everything they thought they understood.
Silverlake is the second book in The Chronicles of the Troop, a philosophical epic fantasy saga blending tactical war, elven lore, deep character bonds, and the high stakes of ancient memory ... for readers who crave stories where victory costs something real.
From the back cover:
Goodbye, Pawdrig Maorilan, last of your line, head of a childless family, and Lord of Redtail Hold. Alaris's anger swirled within his eyes. You are on your own.
Aeons ago an ancient war ravaged the land, and no one knows why.
The Endless Plains are once again the site of that ancient conflict. Ondilaani tribesmen are raiding throughout the land. Homes have been destroyed, lives lost, and the rumors of war are proving true.
In the outskirts of the kingdom, the troop has saved Resthaven from its destruction. But Tommy's family must now continue south, for there are other villages, other innocents to save. Other places to make safe around the Serensea.
What's happened has changed Tommy, reshaping his life into something he never imagined.
And the changes are still taking place.
For mature readers: Explicit fantasy violence, realistic trauma, moral weight, and thematic intensity. No sex.
