The Aether Heart Chronicles: On The Trail...
The world's magic (Aether) has long since turned its back on humankind. What power remains belongs to relics, and those born touched by other blood. But in the harbor town of Runner's Rest, a woman named Nora Delway returns with a child who should not exist. The girl, Grealis, can shape aether with her own will; no focus, no stone, no charm to guide her. For the first time in living memory, something ancient stirs in human veins. Nora turns to Jack Willows, a hunter of things best left unnamed. Their history runs deep, tangled in guilt and sorrow. She asks him to protect the girl from the thing hunting her: a pale creature that feeds on magic itself and leaves the world colder wherever it walks. Their road leads west toward Rat's Nest, a town steeped in rumor and rot, where the cellar of a madman's house still waits with its doors half open. Along the way, they gather others touched by hardship and half-light: Bill the Bull, a stone-skinned fighter with debts and loyalty carved in equal measure, and Antoine Zerimar, a silver-voiced bard who carries more truth in song than courage in silence. Through taverns and graveyards, over storm-soaked roads and the bones of a dying age, they chase the faint hope that one child might change what the world believes is possible. Yet hope is a dangerous thing, and every fire they kindle draws the shadows closer. Told from the far end of memory, this is the story of a world that learned too late what it had lost, and of a handful of souls who refused to stop searching for the spark that made it human.Complete

Three young people find their lives turned upside down and struggle to survive.

Chronicles of Avaloria
Nearly three centuries ago, the once-mighty human-dwarven alliance of Ostrovia was destroyed during a brutal series of civil wars and political malfeasances. Ancient blood magic and dwarven machinery fueled the death and destruction. Kings turned on one another, and the great wizards were corrupted by their own power. In the last days of the fall, the orc tribes, united by chaos and bloodshed, descended from the mountains and destroyed the war-torn kingdom, becoming the new dominant race of the land, leaving humanity on the brink of extinction. During those final days, a group of desperate survivors set course on a bold expedition into the perilous and uncharted Sea. Against all odds, a single ship crashed upon the shores of Avaloria... a realm steeped in ancient magic and guarded by a living forest teaming with dangerous enemies and undiscovered wonder. Now, nearly three centuries later, under the steadfast leadership of Aldros Valtir, the descendants of that fateful journey labor to rebuild civilization in the new world. At the edge of the wild frontier, young Aelar Varos has grown up in Harrow's End, a modest village, clinging to the untamed forests of Avaloria. But when Aelar unwittingly attracts the attention of something more powerful than he can fathom, it sets his destiny on an uncertain course. Cedric Valtir, eldest son of the King and heir to the throne, is loved by his men and women in equal measure. In the bustling heart of Valoria, where the lively corridors of The Silver Stag echo with hope and revelry, Cedric bridges his regal past with the promise of a new future. With his effortless grace, keen intellect, and warm humor, he inspires his people as he listens to their dreams and fears, even as whispers of impending threats swirl around him. But what will fate have in mind when he leaves the walls of the city that defines him?
