Kurzbeschreibung
Lorenzo's world is falling apart. His fencing school is failing, the military wants him back in uniform, and the entire country is reeling from a devastating war. But he believes that an ancient and dangerous relic can restore his nation to prosperity and honor, if the military doesn't find it first.
But just as he prepares to set out, he receives some unexpected guests. Famed pilot Taziri Ohana arrives on his doorstep with three frightened passengers, two exhausted crewmen, and one harrowing story about her aeroplane being shot down by the Espani military... the same military that wants Lorenzo's holy relic.
With his fearless wife and her saber-toothed cat at his side, Lorenzo races into the north where he finds deadly foreign agents, blood-thirsty beasts, and freezing blizzards, as well as a strange masked woman who can guide him to his sacred treasure. But when the relic is stolen and the military unleashes a massive new warship, Lorenzo must prevent a war that could destroy countless nations, even if it costs him both the relic and his life.
Series: The Broken Sword is the second novel in the Halcyon Trilogy. Explore this stunning vision of a Mediterranean world where fantastical machines sail the seas and skies, enormous prehistoric beasts roam the land, and restless ghosts haunt the frozen wastes.
