Exiles
Ilyon Chronicles book 4
by Jaye L. Knight
Exiled after their defeat in Samara, the Resistance struggles to find allies in their quest to restore King Balen to his throne and put an end to the emperor’s tyranny. When the crete people refuse to lend their aid, Balen leads a group to Dorland to reason with them and win their support. However, enemies prove to be everywhere, and they find themselves in a fight to keep Dorland from becoming Daican’s latest conquest.
Back in Landale, the arrival of a new enemy forces Trask and Anne to tread more carefully than ever. Tensions are rising, and the enemy is determined to test Anne’s loyalty and root out the location of Trask and the Resistance once and for all.
Feeling trapped within the walls of Valcré, Prince Daniel must contend with an ever-eroding relationship with his father. As their clashes escalate, the situation becomes potentially life threatening when his loyalty is called into question. His sister seems bent on branding him a traitor and actively seeking to condemn him to the fate of those put to death in their father’s new arena. Daniel is certain his father would never execute his only son and heir but, with other forces at work, it might not be that simple.

One small misstep could prove fatal for all.

Excerpt from
Exiles
“Lady Anne,” Goler said in smooth voice, yet his eyes glinted demandingly as he looked between her and Charles.
Anne put on her sweetest smile. “Captain Goler, allow me to introduce Lord Ilvaran, the Viscount of Dunrick. He’s here to visit his niece and requested that he be my escort tonight.” She said it with all innocence, as if she weren’t fervently thanking Elôm that he had.
Goler stared at Charles for a lengthy moment with a sickening half-smile that suggested he was fighting the urge to curse. Finally, he must have controlled himself. “Lord Ilvaran, welcome to Landale.”
“Thank you, Captain. It appears to be quite a charming place. I hope to see more of it, if the weather permits. I hear you have your hands full keeping the peace, what with traitorous outlaws running loose.”
“Indeed,” Goler spoke through his teeth. “In fact, I’m surprised your niece is allowed to remain in such a volatile area.”
Of course, if she weren’t, then Charles wouldn’t be here to ruin Goler’s evening. Anne fought an upwelling of smugness.
Charles gave a charming smile with not even a hint of subtle sarcasm. “Well, we trust the local officials to keep the innocent safe.”
Anne bit down hard to keep from grinning. Goler couldn’t argue against that.
“We do our best.” Goler forced his smarmy smile wider, but it didn’t hide the ice in his eyes. “I do hope you enjoy the evening and your visit.”
His gaze slid once more to Anne, seething just as she’d expected, but next to Charles, she felt secure.
“Thank you,” Charles said again. “I’m sure I will.” He then led Anne off to mingle with the rest of the guests.
Once they were out of earshot, Anne released a quiet laugh and glanced up at Charles. “We need to keep you around. You handled him better than anyone I know.”
