Heed this! Should you be drawn to fantasy colonial adventure where a young man must grow and overcome his set backs, with evil magic users, conspiracies, trade deals, alliances gone sour, political intrigue, and rumor of rebellion taking place in the background that could have unforeseen, but great consequences for our young hero. Then stay tuned. Heath is a third generation colony born in Scozeg, the northernmost settlement of the Verloch Confederation Colony. Son of a woodworker and an ill-tender. Like most children of the Confederation Heath dreams of being an adventurer one day, even though it goes against his mother's wish as her father was an adventurer who died when she was young. Heath hopes to form a bond with a combat centered spirit once he reaches adulthood, sadly that dream dies when an attack on his village forces him to bond with a hearth spirit to save both his sister's and his life. Now he is Heath of the Hearth, much to his annoyance and disappointment, but he will not let that stop him from following his dream, he will just have to get creative with his new found hearth abilities. *BIG THANKS TO Asviloka FOR THE AWESOME COVER*
