The Sleeping One awakens.
“Call me Count Felspar.” For the first time, the Spy made a conscious decision to follow a cause. His decisions normally revolved around the highest bid. Now he pledged his skills and life to the youngest Villa child. Will this decision lead to his undoing?
Decisions of the past always return to haunt a person. Once clear choices, in hindsight can become damning. Who will judge a man once his past is revealed? Can past deeds be forgiven after noble service rendered? All these questions - and more - will answer themselves as we delve deeper into the dark fantasy world of The Fractured Lands, and as we’re drawn towards the thrilling conclusion of this stunning work of immersive fiction.
A man can walk through life lost morally as well as literally. What actions need to be taken to right old wrongs? Is it possible to wash away old sins? In Fractured Hopes, author Greg Alldredge takes us into a bold new heart of dark fantasy and leaves us shaken, thrilled, and eager for more. For fans of Game of Thrones, this sixth book in an epic fantasy series is guaranteed to get the mind racing and the heart pumping and is sure to grip readers from the first fantastical page to the last.

A grizzled older soldier stuck his head into Meyers’s tent. The sound of the man clearing his throat before speaking set Meyers’s nerves on end. “My lord, it is time to go. The men are ready.”
Meyers glanced over the spartan accommodations provided by the tent. Cold camping had to be the worst. A slight hoarfrost had developed on the covering above where his sleeping mat lay. The weather grew colder each night. As if this hellish land could grow wetter and more miserable. “Broman… Tell me again how far to the next target?”
“Less than an hour ride to target, m’lord. We will arrive before first light if we leave now. The sooner we leave, the sooner we will be finished with it, don’t you think?”
Meyers’s didn’t want to think about anything except somewhere warmer. His regent, half-sister, and future bride sent him and these men out on an impossible task: to find, kill, and return with proof of the demon that attacked the peasants on the frontier. Long ago, Meyers concluded he was sent from the citadel to allow Hope a free hand in her experiments and thirst for power. It had been weeks since his younger half-sister and mother left him near the wall. There had been no contact with the city or news from the citadel since. “How many at the target building?”
“The structure holds six, lord. Ready to be cleaned out.” Broman held back the flap of the tent, prompting Meyers to follow him.
Six souls were about to die, all for a crazy woman that became drunk with power in a search for a demon that didn’t exist in the first place. The men scoured the mountains for some creature that could be taken back and passed off as the monster that killed so many citizens inside the wall, to no avail.
