DemonWars: The Buccaneers

The invasion by the Xoconai of the eastern realms of Corona was quick and insidious, but you can't conquer a free mind as resistors begin to fight for their land back in the beginning of a new trilogy in the “DemonWars” saga by #1 New York Times bestselling master of fantasy R. A. Salvatore. The Oxoconai's invasion of Corona after the fall of the Demon Dactyl, the god they knew as Scathmizzane, was swift, utilizing their mastery of being able to teleport from their own lands far to the west. While a peace was struck which enabled the folks of what was once known as Honce-the-Bear to live alongside their invaders, the treaty was slowly eroded as the Xonconai's ways became law. Yet even this decaying façade of peace is shattered when the ruling governor is nearly killed in an assassination attempt, only brought back to life through the healing of the Abellican monks and their gemstone magic. But pockets of resistance remain. Even as the Xoconai fist tightens after the assassination attempt, a witch possessing a secret mastery of gemstone magic and a Powrie pirate named Benny are on a collision course towards a destiny neither one imagined was possible.
