Thorben Deepiron hasn't left the familiarity of the Langwin Highlands since being adopted. An elf raised as a dwarf was a rarity in the dwarven capital, let alone the rural mountains that he grew up in. A rarity that most dwarves tolerated only because of who his father was. Though not even a council member could shield him from all bigotry.

He should have controlled his rage. He hadn't. He wished he could. The smug look on Dorn's face had pushed him over the edge. With the help of his brother Tanrin, he'd put Dorn and his gang in their place, earning exile as a result. Everything is going to change. Thorben and his brother will need to navigate unfamiliar places and find their own path in the wide world of Baherune.

Thorben's secret burgeoning magical powers threaten the stability of his very soul and he's seeing words in his vision. As if that wasn't enough he's being hunted by a mysterious group of assassins and suffers permanent negative status effects in his quest for answers. Will he be able to survive the changes he is going through? Will he uncover the secrets that threaten him? Can he become the hero that Baherune needs?

Release Schedule: I am currently attempting to write and post 2 chapters a week. Check back in every Monday and Thursday.
