From one of the most exciting writers of fantasy adventure comes the
first novel in The Ascendant Kingdoms Saga, a tale of unpredictable
magic, battling warlords, and the lust for vengeance set in the
unforgiving frozen wastes at the edge of the world.
Condemned as a murderer for killing the man who dishonored his sister,
Blaine "Mick" McFadden has spent the last six years exiled in Velant, a
penal colony in the frigid northern wastelands. Harsh military
discipline and the oppressive magic keep a fragile peace as colonists
struggle against a hostile environment. But the supply ships from
Dondareth have stopped coming, boding ill for the kingdom that banished
the colonists.
Now, as the world's magic runs wild, McFadden and the people of Velant
must fight to survive and decide their fate . . .
