Tales of Tang-Cougar

Book I: Summerfall
Genre: Epic Fantasy | Romance | Coming-of-Age | War

Synopsis:

In the divided lands of Tang-Cougar, a lost prince rises from the ashes of a burning summer.

Seventeen-year-old Alaric Tarlon always believed he was a farm boy, raised in the quiet outskirts of Stonewake. But when the Summer Guard descends on his village and executes his caretaker, Alaric is thrust into a world of blood, secrets, and destiny. On the run with his best friend Robert and a mysterious Dweller named Corerin, Alaric soon learns that his bloodline is not common-it is royal. He is the son of Maverick Payne, the last true King of Tang-Cougar, a man who once united Dwellers, Elves, and Men under one banner.

Captured and forced to fight in the brutal arena of the Free Folk, Alaric is watched by Astrid, a hardened Northwoman and the daughter of a jarl who once pledged loyalty to Alaric's father. As war brews across the realm and ancient enemies stir, Astrid and Alaric find their fates entwined by legacy and lust, torn between duty and desire.

But shadows loom. The Free Cities to the north and the Kingdom of Summerhold to the east close in on the fractured realm of Elennoss, and Prince Henry, slayer of Alaric's adoptive father, returns with vengeance in his heart. When Alaric sacrifices himself to protect his companions, falling into the dark waters of the Burdikin, those who love him are left with a single hope: that the blood of the Hollow King has not yet run cold.

As the first snows fall on summer's ruin, the fires of rebellion begin to kindle.
