Currently the best selling novel I’ve ever written.

One thousand years ago, the Empire of Solheim almost conquered the known world. One small kingdom of refugees survived, and brought the war to a grinding holt. The treaty of Ash was signed and there was peace.

A young boy runs from his orphanage seeking a better life. A pirate queen chaffs at imposed orders. A bard without loyalty questions how far he’ll go. A princess weighs fear against duty. To the North, the empire stirs.
