Heromarker 2: Warrior of Legend【英雄締造者 #2】Kendare Blake 奇幻小說 英文小說
代價沉重,但瑞德(Reed)終於成為了一名阿里斯廷(Aristene)「英雄締造者」。
而且,她並非普通的阿里斯廷,而是「輝煌之死」(Glorious Death)的一員——專門引領那些以生命換取榮耀的英雄。這是一個沉重的使命,但為了忘卻那位她不得不拋下的王子,瑞德選擇全心投入,不顧一切地「收割」英雄,甚至有人認為她的速度過於魯莽。
因此,當里昂娜(Lyonene)接到指令,要引領一位公主邁向輝煌的婚姻時,瑞德看到了難得的機會——一個不必走向死亡的英雄。她們私下策劃,讓瑞德代替里昂娜前往。然而,這趟任務遠不如想像中輕鬆。抵達後,她發現局勢混亂:一個舊敵正在崛起,威脅著阿里斯廷,而公主的求婚者之一竟然是赫斯廷(Hestion)——那個她仍然深愛,或許也依然愛著她的人。
瑞德已經為這個組織付出了一切。當誓言破裂、生命逝去,她還能再犧牲什麼,來拯救她的姐妹們,以及她自己?
The cost was steep, but Reed is officially an Aristene.
And not just any Aristene, but a Glorious Death, guiding only those heroes whose glory costs them their lives. It is a heavy burden, but to forget the prince she left behind, Reed throws herself into it, harvesting heroes at what some say is a reckless pace.
So when Lyonene is summoned to guide a princess to a glorious marriage, Reed sees an opportunity—a hero who isn’t fated to die—and they secretly arrange for Reed to go in her place. But instead of an easy mission, she arrives to find chaos: an old enemy is rising to threaten the Aristene, and one of the princess’s suitors is Hestion, whom Reed still loves, and who may yet love her.
Reed has already given everything to the order. As oaths are broken and lives are lost, what more must she give to save her sisters, and herself?
