Deceit - The Faithful and the Fallen Series

Author's name: John Gwyn

A black sun rises... Young Corban watches with envy as the boys become warriors under King Brennan, learning the art of war.

He longs to take up his sword and spear to defend his king's realm. But that day will come far too soon. He must lose his loved ones to understand the true price of courage. The Forsaken Lands bear a violent past, where armies of humans and giants clashed in bloody battles, the earth stained with the blood of hearts. And though the giant clans were shattered centuries ago, their ruined fortresses still mar the land.
Now, the giants and ancient monsters awaken once more, and the very stones weep blood. Those who can read these signs perceive a threat greater than the ancient wars. Grief will engulf the world as angels and demons make it their battleground—a war of the gods. But the prophecy indicates that darkness and light will be embodied by two heroes: the black sun and the bright star. It would be wise to seek both, for if the black sun prevails, the hopes and dreams of humankind will crumble to dust.
