The Shadow of Chea'Laern

About the Book

A mage is charged with a quest to seek and capture a dangerous sentient artifact in order to graduate and earn the title Master. But before Secile formally accepts the quest, a friend asks her to find the daughter he had sent away when his wife died after giving birth to the girl. The artifact is believed to be lying dormant, so Secile accepts her friend’s request. While investigating tales of the valley’s founders, sixteen year old Kaia-mei deals with the tragic loss of the man who raised her. She must face her future as the valley is swept up in Secile’s quest. The battle unfolds; secrets of the valley’s past resurface, heroes are born from unexpected men, and a mysterious light emerges from a source no one would have imagined. But is it enough to save the region?
