Trouble stirs between nations and rebellion threatens Faeraven.

When Kai returns with the supposed DawnKing, Lof Shraen Elcon cannot trust that the Elder youth truly is the prophesied deliverer. Driven to prove himself, Elcon banishes the boy and embarks on a peace-keeping campaign into the Elder lands, where he falls in love with an Elder princess betrothed to another.

Sometimes the deliverance of a nation comes only through the humility of one.

Declaring his love would shame the nations, but Elcon is torn. As war approaches, Elconâ€™s choices lead him on a journey of discovery that will either settle the lands or leave them mired in conflict. Can his kingdom ever be united, or will the consequences of his decisions forever tear asunder the fabric of Faeraven?

In My Opinion

My second visit to Faeraven was much more comfortable than the first as by the end of Dawnsinger, I became familiar with the vernacular and Jenalyn Voigt’s story world and the cadence of her writing. Wayfarer isn’t exactly a sequel to the first book, more a continuation of the tales Voigt weaves. Kai and Shae take a step back and Elcon (the newly appointed Shraen, aka king) gets his time in the spotlight.

This second book is a complete contrast to the sacrifices Shae and Kai made in book one. Too often Elcon makes selfish choices with no thought of the consequences. But when those consequences come, they are devastating.

The allegory in this book is deeply entrenched and abundantly clear when held up to scripture of living for the flesh versus living for the spirit.

Voigt left me both satisfied with the ending of Wayfarer but wanting more because of the unanswered questions remaining. And when I read the synopsis of the upcoming release (Sojourner), I have even more.

The High Queen is dying…

At the royal summons, Shae mounts a wingabeast and soars through the air to the high hold of Faeraven, where all is not as it seems. Visions warn her of danger, and a dark soul touches hers in the night. When she encounters an attractive but disturbing musician, her wayward heart awakens.

But then there is Kai, a guardian of Faeraven and of Shae. Secrets bind him to her, and her safety lies at the center of every decision he makes.

On a desperate journey fraught with peril and the unknown, they battle warlike garns, waevens, ferocious raptors, and the wraiths of their own regrets. Yet, they must endure the campaign long enough to release the DawnKing and the salvation he offers into a divided land. To prevail, each must learn that sometimes victory comes only through surrender.
