The Heron Kings' Flight by Eric Lewis
The Heron Kings have been betrayed.
For a century they lived in secret, keeping the peace from the shadows. But when a skirmish turns into a bloody ambush, the order of forest rangers will risk a tenuous truce with the Crown as young members Linet and Aerrus vow to track down their betrayers. When reluctant peacetime soldier Eyvind reveals a conspiracy to welcome the charismatic invader Phynagoras, the trio must convince a weak king and pitifully few allies to stand against the storm.
Their only hope lies in the forgotten tactics of their own guerrilla past, and a terrifying new alchemical weapon the likes of which the world had never imagined. The only question is which side will be destroyed by it first...
