Continue the Series: Chapter 1 Braeth straightened from a crouch beside the fire where a gill-skewered herring roasted for himself and his twelve-year-old grandson Vachel. Up-mountain on the snowfields, beyond the spring-green fairplain but close enough to be discernible as human beings, two figures moved. With awakening dread, Braeth squinted at the pair. A drift of wind blew downhill and his two dogs sprang to their feet. The animals’ silver-tipped black hackles rose, their amber eyes glowed, their throaty growls rumbled. Braeth fingered the hilt of the long thin blade belted at the waist of his kirtle. “Kohba and Sehya do not like them,” Vachel said. He thrust…

Generations ago, ships full of refugees from a vast war accidentally blew into a narrow, sheltered harbor between the cliffs of two mountain ranges. The people called the vast and fertile valley beyond the harbor the Vale and settled there. The Vale was also home to wild animals, dragons, and magical creatures called elves…and magic. As the years passed, humans with no actual magical talent came to be born with a Gift–a single ability. Among the Gifted, only healers are widely accepted, but for others fear and distrust has led to prejudice, persecution, and even murder. Although elves, humans and dragons essentially live in peace together, the nearly immortal…

Continue the Series: Chapter 1 The wind caught its breath. The brindle milch cows stood like blocks of jasper, waiting. Beyond the tall wooden fence that defined the boundaries of the lordshare, the night-feeding tersaks lifted on great barred wings, even though sunset was eight hours away. Kelber gripped the worked-iron rail of the balcony and looked west toward the treeless peak twelve miles distant. Above the firehill an ominous sienna glow crept upward; highly heated air melted an ever-growing hole in the milk-white clouds curdling that portion of Orland’s skies. “Vol Dorend’s about to burst again,” the boy said sourly. He glanced down at the formal gardens…

Continue the Series: Chapter 1 Chaff limped into the speckled mare’s stall and darted a glance over his shoulder as he kneed shut the gate. Earlymorn light silhouetted no figure in the stable’s open doorway, nor did the dark-timbered interior reveal any sign of human life. And so, setting down bucket and broom, Chaff pulled two withered carrots from the pocket of his breeches. “I’ve brought you a treat, Lusala,” he whispered, his throat choking. A pitiful offering for a starving horse, but the best he’d been able to do. The dootra lifted her head and whickered faintly. Although in the dimness, Chaff could not see the color of…
