Future Upon Him

Apprentice Storyteller Cormac aspires no higher than to become a Master of Lore. His world changes forever when a Great Sword chooses him as Thane. At this moment, at this Great Turning of History, he must accept that the fate of his world, from the Sunrise Sea to the Sunset Sea, rests on his shoulders. Princess Orianna of the Seven Families called forth the sword. She must attend to the Thane. Together they set off to fulfill their destinies as they journey across the Land of Otherwhere. Otherwhere is a land very like our own. Passion, anxiety, desire, love. The lure of power that can seduce even the best of us. Nobility and rascality. Fear of our own mortality. The things we find in our world. All these are there. But there are differences, for Otherwhere is a world of magic and wonder. Strange beings. Sylvans. WXL, otter-like creatures who share a single consciousness. Dragons. Wizards. She-Who-Sits-by-the-Fire. As they journey, Cormac and the Princess encounter them all.
