The fate of the world may hang on the story of betrayal, struggle and love that centers on three young men.
Kai Linden is held in a solitary cell by the mind-control cult called the Addin, but he is still free inside. The reason his will hasn't been taken from him is far more sinister than he can imagine.
Jake, the weak and disappointing son of a powerful Addin leader, is one of his captors. Living on borrowed time, Jake must prove his Addin talent or lose the position that is his birthright and maybe much more.
Meanwhile, Kai's steadfast friend Wyatt Brand is on the run in a chaotic version of America where the ancient treaty that kept Meikans safe from the Addin is no more.
This is the darkest moment of history for the Meikan people who have suffered under Addin oppression for a thousand years. The Kyrennei mages who once protected them were supposed to return through modern genetics, but the Addin is killing them easily.
If the Kyrennei girl Aranka Miko once brought hope this world, that hope now seems utterly crushed. And worse is yet to come as Kai faces a terrible choice-one that will either destroy his heart or decimate the remnants of the resistance group known as J. Company.
And yet hope has a way of growing long roots in dark places-through centuries of silence. If there is one chance for the return of hope, it lies in the synergy of three young men struggling for integrity and survival.
"Path of the Betrayer" is the fifth book in The Kyrennei Series, continuing the saga through desert battles and into the very heart of Addin madness.
