Shadows Of Eden: Michael R. Joens

Book II of Twilight Of The Gods. His name is Norduk, the Wolf. He relentlessly seeks Aeryck, sending barbaric Saxon leaders and wolf packs to take his life - to put an end to the dream that haunts him. But still the boy eludes his grasp. To Aeryck's horror, evasion comes at a price - the shadow of death tracks him like a skilled, persistent hunter. Aeryck's doubts and burdens threaten his new-found faith. How can he trust a God who allows such evil to prevail? How can he conquer the hate swelling within him. On the eve of Christ's Mass, he finds the answers his heart and soul have sought. And on this night, he and Dagmere decide what their future together will hold. As for the future of Britain, it seems that peace is at hand...or is it? Terryll and Aeryck hear of Saxon treachery and witness its bold, horrific march into their homeland. The fate of Britain is in their hands; they must warn the British villages and prepare Killwen Eden for war. Peril threatens their every move yet they realise that Light cannot be so easily extinguished, even in the twilight of powerful pagan gods. And still the Wolf is plagued by his dreams - the sword of Caelryck is once more threatening him. This is the battle he has tried to avoid, yet it is the battle he and Aelryck both must face.
