Lark Kale-Tollworth will follow this bizarre scholar to the Southlands. Lily doesn’t know her brother’s corpse was pulled from a ditch, stolen by a man who can raise the dead. But as her father, Husker Tollworth feels like it’s his right.ĭays ago, a tax patrol was slaughtered. She doesn’t even know he’s coming to find her. Lily doesn’t know this pale-skinned giant has been writing to her. Weeks ago, a murderer with a bleeding grin was released from the Mountain Head.
Yet she has no clue of the events already in motion around her. You’ll find no better expert on these things than Lily Kale-Tollworth. So begins the saga of that kingdom, and the man who would rule it all.
When one kingdom drowns, a new one must rise in its place. Othrun will be forced to confront the truths of all he believes in on his journey to become a king, and a legend. But with kingdoms fated on the edge of spears, alliances and pagan magic, betrayal, doubt, and dangers await him at every turn. With a troubled past, a cursed sword, and a mysterious spirit guiding him, Othrun means to be that ruler, and conquer all. With his Single God binding his knights to chivalric oaths, intent on wiping out idolatry and pagan worship, they will have to carve out a new kingdom on this mysterious continent―a continent that has for centuries been ravaged by warlords competing for supremacy and mages channeling the mystic powers of the elements―and unite the continent under godly rule. Once Second Prince of the mightiest kingdom in the known world, Othrun now leads the last survivors of his exiled people into an uncertain future far across the Shimmering Sea from their ancestral home, now lost beneath the waves. Sort of makes the whole ‘not dying’ part redundant. The offer gets him into the Guild of the Arcane, but nowhere did it mention he’d be an apprentice to a battlemage about to embark on a certain mission. If he wants to stay alive-which he decides would be a preferable outcome-he has to accept an offer from the very man he tried to kill. At least until he finds out he’ll work alongside mages with powers responsible for the infection in the first place.Įight, a human experiment of torture, fails to assassinate his target. When his guild leader contacts him after years of silence, it’s to send him on a mission with an assembled crew. Kynnar is a Guild Drengir mercenary roaming the Corrupted Lands, a place of maddening sickness that took the life of his beloved. Their mission: deliver an arcane explosive into the heart of the corruption. A boy struggling to understand emotions he cannot feel.Ī journey into a land of bloodthirsty creatures was never a simple matter to begin with. A man hearing the voice of his dead wife.
