The Bound and The Broken; Books 0.5-1

THE FALL The City of Ilnaen is on fire. Dragons fill the skies. Traitors fill the streets.

Across millennia, The Order have stood as the guardians of the mortal realm. But four hundred years before Calen Bryer picked up a sword, a red moon rose over the continent of Epheria and the world changed forever.

There are those who believe The Order had lost its way. That it is corrupt, indulgent, and deceitful. That it has abandoned the oaths sworn so long ago. In the city of Ilnaen, brothers and sisters turn upon each other, dragons war in fire and fury, and gods reach their hands into the world.

OF BLOOD AND FIRE Epheria is a land divided by war and mistrust. The High Lords of the South squabble and fight, only kept in check by the Dragonguard, traitors of a time long past, who serve the empire of the North. In the remote villages of southern Epheria, still reeling from the tragic loss of his brother, Calen Bryer prepares for The Proving – a test of courage and skill that not all survive.

But when three strangers arrive in the village of Milltown, with a secret they are willing to die for, Calen’s world is ripped from under him and he is thrust headfirst into a war that has been raging for centuries.

There is no prophecy. His coming was not foretold. He bleeds like any man, and bleed he will.
