Chapter 9
(Preview)
Kayeen left the inn and walked as a fast clip towards the docks. There was too much activity there so he chose a street with warehouses lining each side and headed southeast along it until he came to another alley that he followed until ended abruptly at a rock wall along the waters edge. He strad...

Chapter 10
(Preview)
When Kayeen reentered the inn he found that someone had carried Damyan up to a room. He wanted to talk with the Ranger again but that could wait. Tiev had joined Foglaid at his table and Kayeen walked over to join them. I thought you were going to kill him. What have you done? Tie...

Chapter 8
(Preview)
Kessen rode into the outskirts of Takino weary and bedraggled. His poor horse was in even worse shape. It probably will not recover from this chase and it was actually the second horse the Ranger had run to the ground. He patted the animal gently on the neck as it stumbled toward the inn. Two slas...

Chapter 7
(Preview)
Kayeen awoke with a start. Despite the cold, and the fact he had tossed his blankets on the floor in his sleep, his bed was drenched in sweat. He heard the surf breaking against the rocks and for a panicked moment he felt that he was still in the dream. Never before had his nightmares been so vivid....

Interlude
(Preview)
Avril was alone, asleep on a beach. Suddenly he woke as the sand began shifting all around him. He felt as though he, along with a good portion of the beach was being lifted into the air. Frightened and confused, Avril tried burying his arms deep into the sand. It was the only way he could think of t...

Chapter 6
(Preview)
Kayeen was exhausted. He took off his shoes and literally fell backwards onto his bunk. After three days of pushing himself to the brink in a foolish attempt to show off, they had skipped over some of the smaller northern ports to arrive at the first major port to the south. At that port they had s...

Chapter 5
(Preview)
Kayeens cloak whipped about him almost like a cape as he walked towards the docks. His dark brown eyebrows were furrowed in concentration as he moved towards the Blue Spray There were two large triangular masts both pointing towards the bow, one in front of the other. In addition, there were about 20 o...

He was the captain of his ship but also the son and the former heir of one of the great trading families so attention to detail had been instilled in him right from his mothers milk.

Chapter 3
(Preview)
Kayeen continued pushing himself forward in shock. He had killed a man. Even if the stranger who had confronted him was still alive when he left, there was no chance he would ever be able to survive the elements. Leaving him there was worse than the rock itself, which had been hurled in the heat o...

Chapter 2
(Preview)
Two things Kayeen could not bear: the cold and the brightness. As he came closer and closer to the southern end of the forest both of these assailed his senses. After collecting his sword and the provisions he had been laying aside, Kayeens first plan was to head out immediately. Nearing the e...

Chapter 1
(Preview)
Avril crouched, waiting, listening in the silence of the mist. He turned his head slightly and held his breath. About ten yards ahead he heard the scratching of feet as the squirrel scampered higher up the tree. It was careless, too noisy. It was frightened. That must mean... yes. Inching ne...

Prelude
(Preview)
Defiantly, the tree held tightly to its one remaining leaf. As gust upon gust of wind ripped through its branches declaring to the world that an early winter had arrived in this barren land, the leaf remained. Many others had fallen that day, but the last leaf obstinately held on. It was the last surviv...
