Book One of the Aethereon Saga

Aethereon

Power comes at a price.

When Eldric, a blacksmith from the city of Candora, is pulled into a conflict older than kingdoms, he discovers that strength alone cannot save the people he loves. A sentient blade, a fractured realm, and a war beneath the surface of the world will test not only what he can endure, but what kind of man he is becoming.

The Realm

World of Aethereon

From the Candora Highlands to the distant coastlands, the world of Aethereon is divided by old kingdoms, dangerous roads, and powers that shaped the realm long before Eldric ever took up the blade.
