The Swords Of Night And Day: First published 2004.

Synopsis: Book 2 of the Damned. Three hundred years after the death of Skilgannon the Damned, the Drenai empire stands on the brink of annihilation. A relentless army, driven by fanaticism and armed with terrifying new weapons, sweeps across the land, leaving shattered cities and slaughter in its wake. Hope seems all but extinguished. In a desperate gamble, the legendary Temple of the Resurrection is used once more to bring Skilgannon back from the dead. Reborn into a world he no longer recognizes, he must come to terms with a future shaped by the consequences of his own age—and a destiny he cannot escape. Armed again with the twin blades of legend, the Swords of Night and Day, Skilgannon becomes the rallying point for a fractured people. Yet the enemy he faces is more than mortal: ancient hatreds, twisted faith, and dark ambition threaten not only the Drenai, but the very soul of humanity. As war engulfs the empire, a resurrected hero must decide whether he is merely a weapon forged for slaughter—or a man capable of changing the fate of the world.
