Light dances with dark, green fire burns in the night, hopes and dreams follow the wind, to fall in black or white.

The prophecy of Thomas Kestrel: outcast, lord, sorcerer, warrior, and perhaps savior of the Kingdoms - if he survives.

Escaping the Shadow Lord's assassins as a young boy, Thomas begins to master the ways of the Talent and the blade, acquiring the skills he'll need to survive in a world of magic and constant danger. In a world where an ancient evil struggles to break free from its bonds, knowing that only one young boy can keep him from gaining control of all the Kingdoms.

In The Legend of the Kestrel, the first book in The Sylvan Chronicles, the journey begins.

Five tribes, each a thread in the tapestry of destiny, have been chosen to embark on a perilous quest.

In a world where magic is a whispered promise, and ancient prophecies slumber, waiting to be unearthed, the chosen ones must navigate treacherous landscapes, forge unlikely alliances, and confront the shadows within. For in the heart of Tenria lies the ancient pearl, a relic of the last dragon, waiting to be claimed by those brave enough to face the trials of the past. Join us, dear traveler, as we embark on a journey through the realms of Tenria, where the very fabric of reality is about to be rewritten, and the fate of a world hangs in the balance."
