Maxwell Soltzer, the lone survivor of the House of Soltzer, awoke slowly from a deep sleep. His mind and vision were foggy, and it was difficult for his conscience to grasp exactly what was going on. "Welcome Maxwell Soltzer, the lone survivor of the House of Soltzer, we have been waiting for you" the voice rumbles, seemingly from the walls. What was going on? Where was he? Maxwell thought, the panic rising up inside him despite his best efforts to control himself. If you have been looking for your next science fiction/fantasy book, then stop looking right now because The Second Son will keep you reading late into the night! As his mind cleared there was no longer any confusion as to who he was or where he was; he was filled with a clarity of mind, body, and soul. He knew of his purpose now; he had been transported through what felt like a tunnel of time, he had watched every detail of his life, every scene replayed and stored in his mind. He knew now how he had ended up in that cave, and he knew what he had to do! He was the lone survivor of the House of Soltzer, and he would make them all pay dearly for the pain that they had inflicted on him and his family. The kingdoms of Lotheria and Sian stood on the threshold of the city. Battle was only moments away, but the young king had done everything possible to prepare his kingdom and his people for the terrifying battle which loomed ahead. Would the sole survivor of the House of Soltzer be able to rally his people and survive the upcoming battle? Or would this be the end of his line forever? Only time will tell!
