"It’s dreadful, the sense of feeling half. Half buried under the pressures of your status, half trying to climb through the earth falling on your head, entering your nose and throat, clogging your lungs until all you can see and breathe, and taste is fear. For Aranel, the feeling grew, sticking to every surface of his short life. Half human, half something else. The first trait clung to his skin, keeping him from greatness—the fear of a mortal, limited life." Follow Aranel in his journey of self-discovery. A story of friendship, magic, loss and newly found hope. Immerge yourself in a world where two factions struggle to share what is left of the once prosperous Gil-la-dem. Learn of new races, cultures, and places inhabited by strange creatures. As women start to disappear, a new mysterious figure threatens them all. A reborn-God or a well mastered lie? Among well kept secrets and dangerous encounters, everything is at stake for Aranel, heir to the throne of Meccadith.
