Blood of the mantis

Sequel to Dragonfly Falling. Achaeos the seer has finally tracked down the stolen Shadow Box. But he has only days before this magical artefact will be lost to him forever. Meanwhile, the Empire's dread forces are mustering for their next great offensive. Stenwold and his followers have only a short time to gather allies before the enemy's soldiers march again - to conquer everything in their path. If Stenwold cannot hold them back, the hated black-and-gold flag will fly over every city in the Lowlands before the year's end. Yet a more insidious threat awaits. Should the Shadow Box fall into the hands of the power-mad Emperor, nothing will save the world form his relentless ambition.
