Blade of Empire is the second science fiction book in The Dragon Prophecy series by Mercedes Lackey author James Mallory.
Set in a beautiful fantasy world filled with elves and demons, unicorns and elves, and wizards and warriors, Blade of Empire continues the legend of Vieliessar Farcarinon, the first Supreme King .
Vieliessar faces the first waves of the forces of Darkness, her destined best friend, Runacar, leading a group of rag-wearers into battle.
For centuries, the Elves have hunted the Otherfolk – minotaurs, gryphons, Dryads, and more – considering them beasts. But they have a complicated society, Runacar discovers, and though he is an Elf, sees it as his duty to help them regain their land from his old friends and allies. .
The Dragon Prophecy is a story of loyalty and betrayal, of love and loss, of sacrifice and salvation. And the never-ending war between Light and Darkness.
