Aldis Tennech, the once-great general of the armies of Gal’dorok, finds himself in exile. His only hope of reclaiming glory lies in the hands of a self-proclaimed emperor, and the unearthly powers that put him there. Meanwhile, improbable alliances are forged in the north as unexpected enemies rear their heads and threaten ruin—with a single thread in common, connecting them all.

Awaken the Three, the second novel in the HIGHGLADE Series, by D. L. Jennings, continues the war between good and evil where Gift of the Shaper left off, with both sides vying for control of the very keys to creation and destruction themselves. Battles rage in the north as cities are sieged in the name of the god of creation, the Breaker of the Dawn; and the mysterious Tribes of the Sun in the south seek help from the god of death himself, the Holder of the Dead. Will creation prevail over destruction? Or will this clashing of gods spell the end for all living things?
