Olin Heon

When Lored is wrongfully imprisoned on the Isle of Yrjo, he has to rely on an outcast Kimder to rescue him. “This is my favourite volume in the series so far.” C Messelodi When Lored finally reaches the shores of Falnaboldu once more, he is met with shocking news that turns his life upside down. Determined to discover what really happened to his mentor, Lored refuses to leave the place he has called home for most of his life. And in the Temple in Aura Vere, Tari, an acolyte, watches helplessly as her life is invaded by a new priestess, a new acolyte and the strange, intimidating kaerlings. Olin Heon is the fourth volume of the epic saga, The Kaerling.

"Young Tari the acolyte has a secret that must be kept — for emergencies! Lored the taku-kevir, diplomat of an ancient order, finds trouble on return to his old home base. Why do the kaerling ambassadors have such interest in acolytes of the Temple’s local shrines? I love the way this book interweaves subplots and characters from the previous three volumes with new ones as a fiendishly complex scheme starts to unveil to the reader!" Troy "This books takes you deeper into the world of The Kaerling, introducing new characters and enlarging on things only hinted at in the first 3 volumes. The depth of Pickard's writing is incredible and Lored, is now one of my favourite characters!" Jiri
