The Quiet Before the Storm

"Time is a strange Mistress"

It's been 150 years since the great war, when the Northern Kingdoms of Selisle, Waes, and Sesslyn went to war against the great might of the Tulschian Empire. No one really won that war, and perhaps that's why tensions still run high when those of Tulsch cross the sea into the frigid north.

Asiliyara has spent her entire life with her nose in a book. However, with her discovery of long forgotten powers that all changes. She finds herself thrust into the middle of a plot to send the Empire and the Kingdoms into war again. A plot that goes deeper than anyone really knows.

(This is part of a friend's old, old, manuscript that she self published years ago under the title "Of Blood and Flame," which she has since unpublished. I have been given permission to rewrite and edit the manuscript as I see fit and to continue the story.)
