King's Wrath

Plot

In the final book of the trilogy, we discover that Loethar is actually the older half brother of King Brennus and thus the rightful heir to the throne. On the other hand, the supposedly retarded half brother Piven has matured beyond his age and also discovered his magical abilities as a healer. However, it is said that with every bit of magic he uses, the further he goes to the dark side and when he brings a boy called Roddy back to life, he finally enters the threshold of being evil. Piven then proceeds to trammel Greven, his foster father by brutally severing off his hand and roasting it before finally eating it. Piven manages to use the unlimited resources that come with an Aegis to kill Sergius. During all this time, Roddy has been following Piven because he senses some sort of attraction to him, hinting that he may be an Aegis as well. When Roddy arrives at the scene, Sergius is already dead and his trusty friend Raven is there, mourning his death. Raven then goes through a process where he attains a human body, which looks exactly like the first Valisar. When Roddy and Raven meet, they share an instant connection and they become friendly with one another.
