Companion is the second book in the critically acclaimed Chronicler Saga by Luke Matthews.
Although Samuel’s arrival sundered Eriane’s serenity and security, she has chosen to take up his cause, intent on finding the truth behind the Queen Consort’s murder. In order to truly help him, she must undertake a dangerous quest to tie up her past and ready herself to be part of Samuel’s – and the Sovereignty’s – future. Although her goal is clear, she’ll struggle to understand her own motivations on the way to learning what truly matters.
Jacob spent a lifetime running from responsibility until Samuel’s unique and intriguing story – and Eriane’s conviction in the face of overwhelming odds – convinced him to choose another path. Back in the Sovereign seat of Balefor, a chance encounter with a dangerous young woman will shed a different light on his own investigation into the Queen Consort’s murder, and show him the true meaning of responsibility and loyalty.
Meanwhile, an important figure from Eriane’s shattered life, on the fringes of Sovereign society, must re-learn how to live in a world so different from the one they’ve always known. New alliances are born and tested, and will be strained to the breaking point as the line between trust and manipulation blurs.
All of them will learn the virtues of family found over family owed, and grow to understand the essence of companionship.

“Matthews’ vivid description, brisk pacing, and page-turning mystery hooked me from the first page. The haunted construct Samuel is as fine an example of a compelling fantasy character as I could hope to find. CONSTRUCT is a delight!” – Cullen Bunn, writer of The Sixth Gun
The essence of every construct resides in their core. A fist-sized stone, carefully saturated with khet, mounted in a walking shell – the vessel through which experience will shape them. Wipe a construct’s core – strip all that away – and what’s left?
It’s a quandary that now haunts Samuel’s every step. Hundreds of years of life – the chronicle of his experience – taken from him. All that he once was, replaced by visions of a gruesome murder, the piercing silver eyes of a ruthless hunter, and premonitions of his own destruction. All of it punctuated by the one thing that no construct is supposed to be capable of: emotion.
Relentlessly pursued and adrift in a world that sees constructs as little more than property, Samuel now faces the hardest challenge of all – knowing who to trust.
