Prince Alerryn and Prince Coryddyll are as close as two brothers could be. In a kingdom of peace, they have everything they have ever wanted, except a father. They have been raised on the stories and legends of their father, Lord Tempest, and know well what a powerful man he was. He possessed skills above that of the wizards of forsaken lore which stemmed from Tempest's link to the Otherworld. As they grow into manhood, these twin brothers find that they too are endowed with the same gifts. With an unknown threat facing their kingdom of Varacai, they will need to quickly become men and shield their people from slavery and oppression. The malevolent emperor is quickly closing his grip over and around the free world of men. With innocent blood at stake, all eyes will be upon their plight. The Sword of Jyr is the epic continuation of the legacy of Tempest and Zarah from the first book, Lord of the Forrest.
