The Dawnstone Tale

Comfortable in her book-lined tower where her spellsongs provided her every need, Lylith Antinon makes a decision that could possibly be the worst mistake of her life - she steps outside. The journey she takes in pursuit of a mysterious "call" tugging at her soul tosses her into the path of a thief down on his luck and an attractive lord who just happens to lend himself out as her guide. The three odd travelers follow rumors and "spirit pathways", using spells and sword skills, in their attempt gain a most treasured gem from the Island of Daie ... The Dawnstone. If they happen to conquer a tower renown for its traps, allude a madman, evade a ghastly curse, and win their prize - how will they escape each other? Dark whimsy mixes familiar fantasy tropes with character driven adventures, new worlds, and a handful of lusty fae. THE DAWNSTONE TALE is the first book in the series Translations from Jorthus which introduces the system of three Sister-worlds: Jorthus, Gerrellus, and Quorrelles. Planets that give life and energy to their "children" through the Song of the Universe, a language of the soul, spoken among the stars.
