"The Sowing of The Seed" ,Volume 2 of "The Ambassador" YA series by Marcia Lee Laycock has been released!

When Prince Eghan meets some of the Huntsmen who have helped his uncle Adlair, he is drawn to their simple way of life and the strength of their faith but still struggles with resentment, anger  and jealousy as Adlair and Nara begin teaching him from The Book. Meanwhile King Gherin hears rumors that his son has been killed, his only hope that it isn’t true coming from the words of his advisor, Silhas, who risks the king’s anger by revealing his belief in the One True God. Eghan’s guardian, Khalwyd, who was sent into the mountains to discover if Eghan is alive or dead, is taken in by a hermit called Burke who heals his snow-blindness and seeks to heal the blindness in his heart.

A look ahead to Volume 3: Silhas’s boldness lands him in the king’s dungeon but King Gherin is drawn to visit him there and witnesses the power of his faith. Just as Burke and Khalwyd leave for Alinga Territory, Eghan, Adlair and Nara decide it is time for her to return there as well. When they reach the fringes of the kingdom they are shocked at the poverty and despair in the villages. They find Gage, the leader of the rebellion, and warn him of a trap set to capture him. Meanwhile Duke Malnar, the usurper of Nara’s throne, is being tormented by demons and commands his men to find and kill the princess.
