✦ Synopsis

From the small town of Deepwell in the kingdom of Myrcia, hardworking Luken Barra lights out to seek his fortune in the city of Castlecliff. His failure there is in contrast to his criminal brother Vearus, who rises from a prison term to become the powerful Healer to the ruling Sanctor. Things change, however, during a dire siege of the city that spurs Luken to go on a quest to the immortal draconian god, the Erseiyr Rizzix, whose intervention is the only hope of survival. Luken makes a bargain with Rizzix, but keeping it is made difficult by human treachery.

A TALE OF LOVE AND LOATHING, BETRAYAL AND TRUST, GLORY AND JEALOUSY AND SPECTACLE

In the shrouded times of past beyond past, the immortal winged Erseiyr was worshipped, feared, then forgotten by the folk of Myrcia. But now. besieged by the savage hordes of Skarria. the despot of Myrcia declares his throne open to anyone who can secure the protection of the legendary god. As the questers set out on a lourney fraught with terror and danger to discover the Erseiyr s mountaintop eyrie, they are joined by Lukan. a young man whose destiny holds an astonishing promise — for when the Myrcian tyrant commits an act of unspeakable treachery, the enraged Erseiyr threatens to unleash his most terrible wrath… and only Lukan can avert the final doom!
