    About this ebook

    Dawn of Defiance is the second volume of the thrilling fantasy short story series, Kingdom of Destiny. The Light is the fifth and final episode of the volume.

    A recent college graduate finds himself in an alternate world he never knew existed. Dealing with castles, kings, and betrayal, he will have to use his considerable wits if he is going to face his fate in the Kingdom of Destiny.

    Ryder has spent all of his life dreaming of what lies beyond his father's small Baricoan farm. But when a mysterious man falls at his feet from the sky, he finds himself caught in a whirlwind of dangerous adventure that transports him beyond any dream he could have imagined. Now he has no choice but to venture into the unfamiliar territory of his kingdom's greatest enemy. However, when he and his companions are forced to flee south to avoid the greedy emperor, Ryder discovers an oppressed people desperate for relief and inadvertently lays the foundations for the land's Dawn of Defiance.

    Having defeated Excellency Ganesh and the Southern Palace, Ryder and Tristan race for Barico. If the people are going to have a chance against the impending retaliation of the emperor, they must convince the king of Barico to ally with the rebellion before it is too late.

      CHAPTER ONE

      Travel swiftly, Xander advised.

      We will, Ryder promised. Are you certain you will not need us here?

      Xander glanced back at the burning palace. He shook his head. The emperor will send his troops, but he will not do so without preparation and scouts to be certain of his victory. It will be weeks before his soldiers come for us.

      It will take us weeks to get to Barico and back, Ryder pointed out.

      Then you will be back just in time for the fun part, Xander smirked. It will take you a hard week’s ride to reach Othonia. Another two days from there to reach Lochlain and the king of Barico.

      Ryder sighed. Making it near three weeks before our return. His expression set in determination. But we will return. As soon as we are able.

      Xander nodded his understanding. I will hold here.

      Ryder glanced at Meika as she approached from behind him. She gave him a small smile. We are ready.

      They all watched for a moment as the Southern Palace of Excellency Ganesh crumpled underneath the consuming flames. Ryder thought back on his time in Jaguria. It had been a long, tedious journey all the way from the northern Imperial Palace. They had trekked through the midlands and across the mighty Tanjin River that divided Jaguria into the southern lands.

      He had entered his sworn enemy’s land for only one reason. His friend had been taken against his will by the emperor and had needed his help to escape. Ryder, with Xander leading the way, had snuck into the imperial city of Jin, the
