The Death Bringer — Kendra Merritt

Rowan and Bex have been through the noktum and come out the other side stronger. They work directly for the queen, searching for Giant artifacts to help Humanity. But all of their wit and skills are tested when darkness descends across the entire continent of Noksonon. It's the beginning of a war that the Humans can't win. All they can do is survive. Luckily Rowan still carries the Grief Draw, a lantern that can push back the darkness and keep a small scrap of Humanity alive in the dark.But when a Giant out of legend comes after the Grief Draw--and anyone who has ever held it--Rowan and Bex must lead their friends and families across the continent to keep them safe. Their only hope lies in Tera, the companion they left behind on the island of Taur. She is a fighter and the only one among them they would trust to face a Giant. And she has ties to a legendary weapon, a final artifact hidden in a stronghold that might keep them safe. They just have to find Tera. And make her a Giant killer.
