Foul Tide’s Turning [EPUB ebook] 

The power struggle begins . . .The people of Weyland always believed the slavers raids, which destroyed families and homes like a natural disaster, were a misfortune that couldn’t be averted or stopped. But it’s not true. King Marcus struck a deal: his people in exchange for technology and a powerful alliance with the Vandian civilisation.And now everyone knows.Jacob and Carter Carnehan escaped the slavers — along with the true king of Weyland — and have returned home with both the truth, and a Vandian princess as their hostage. Their purpose was to avoid war . . . instead, the truth prompts a civil war at home — while an invasion force focused on reclaiming the captive princess starts to gather on their borders.Jacob and Carter will be separated once again — and this time they’re fighting for something bigger than their lives.
