Hunter of the Horde — Brian S. Pratt

Riyan, Chad, and Bart continue their quest with the aid of their newfound companion, Kevik. Recently bereft of his master, Kevik struggles on his own to learn his craft and to put the appellation of 'Apprentice' behind him. Though lacking in confidence, his ability to creatively utilize what few spells he has mastered has came in handy time and again.

What they feared most has come to pass. Word that they may have found the King's Horde has begun to spread. Now, it has reached the ears of one who will stop at nothing to discover what they know.

The second installment of The Broken Key continues to follow the four friends in their search for the final two segments of the Key that will unlock the fabled King's Horde. Through the words of an aged tome hidden in a long forgotten room, and the recollections of a madman, they set out for where they believe another of the segments lies hidden.
