The Prisoner of Tardalim

Tor's rebellion war against the Mindolarn Empire has delivered a crippling blow, the death of Emperor Mentas. Seeking aid from their allies, the Mindolarn Empire turns to the Principality of Soroth, and their society of mages-the Sorothian Magical Order.

In an effort to aid their allies, the Order's council calls for an expedition to travel to the nethermost reaches of the world, the Abodine Wasteland. There they must venture to a reliquary of ancient tevisrals-magical objects-rumored to be hidden within crystal ruins leftover from a fabled war now long forgotten.

Among those heading to the perilous wastes is Amendal Aremein, a conjurer with a quick-wit, keen mind, and a philandering appetite. Forced into this expedition, Amendal begrudgingly enters the depths of the reliquary. What he unearths will forever change his life and set the stage for the return of a Dark God.

TALES OF THE AMULET
Several millennia ago a war raged between the factions of dragonkind. With their world ravaged, the Kaldean Alliance forged the Amulet of Draconic Control and the Tethering Stone, and banished their foes to other realms, saving Kalda from utter destruction. Fearing the power of the Amulet, the survivors secreted it away. But now knowledge of the Amulet has resurfaced-and in the wrong hands, war could erupt anew.

One of four stand-alone prequels to Tales of the Amulet, The Prisoner of Tardalim takes place fifty-five years before the quest to re-forge the Au'misha'k-the Amulet of Draconic Control.

Update schedule will be erratic as this is a side project for the authors.
