Denzai
Book 2 of the series "A Song in the Darkness" - Sequel to "Darkwalker"
*****
Tarriq Zar, grandson of the famous Ranger of Londinium, has some serious responsibilities laid on his shoulders. The notoriously insular Darkwalker has a new apprentice and the beginnings of a plan to get the failing life support systems for the sub-city replaced. Not to mention the revelation of his status to the Denzai, who now are beginning to look up to him as a societal leader as well. And none of his new responsibilities comes with a plan to help him deal with his own wildly unstable emotions.
On the plus side, he has new allies. Fourteen year old Kellen is firmly in Tarriq's corner and shaping up to be a force to be reckoned with. Annika Surazi, the Chairman of the sub-city, is definitely on board. And Larqissa, the grandmother Tarriq thought deceased, is supporting him fully.
The problem is that none of these positives are helping Tarriq find the stability he desperately craves when all of them are trying to pull him in different directions. All of which are also pulling him firmly out of his comfort zone. And he's about to find out just how bad it can get.
