Book Preview Chapter 1 The sun’s light faded as it disappeared behind thick clouds, casting a haze across the late evening sky that reminded Rsiran of when he Slid to the center of the Aisl Forest.

Book Preview Chapter 1 Rsiran Lareth settled to his knees on the ground, shifting the long, heartstone alloy sword he carried to the side.

Book Preview Chapter 1 Rsiran Lareth stood before the sloped roof of the freshly painted wooden building.

The draasin crawled around his shoulders—still thinking himself small but already much larger than he’d been a month ago, before nestling in and resting around … Read more
Book Preview 1 Return to Par-shon The massive tower of black stone dwarfed Tannen Minden. Shadows streaked from the stone’s base, stretching out like some wispy finger that strained to touch all of the lands. The shadows might not reach him, but the effect the tower had, the soft chill in his heart, managed to … Read more
Book Preview 1 A Summons The vast expanse of Incendin spread all around Tannen Minden as he stood on a ridge overlooking the waste, ignoring the draw of the Fire Fortress for now.

At the sound, Asboel … Read more
