Resistance (Reawakening #2)
by Amy Rae DurresonReawakening: Book TwoOverthrowing the Shadow that ruled Tiallat was only the first step. For rebel leader Iskandir, rebuilding his shattered country is an even greater challenge. A poor harvest, religious conflict, and years of tyrannical governance combine with the challenge of getting the soldiers of the Shadow's army home and rehousing the exiled who are flooding back into free Tiallat. Then people begin to get sick. A thousand years ago, after the Shadow's first defeat, a blight fell upon the north: a disease that killed more than the war itself.
