More about the book
In an epic fantasy set in the dawn of Creation, the world of Irth is filled with wizards, witch queens, and powerful magic emanating from the Abiding Star. The nobility, who control most of this mystic energy, inhabit floating cities and engage in treacherous power struggles. Those who fail in their ambitions are cast into the abyss beyond the Edge, landing in the cold realm of the Dark Shore—Earth—where no one has ever returned. Until now. Hu’dre Vra, a former scavenger who discovered a magical sword but misused it, has emerged from the Dark Shore with formidable black magic. Leading an army of cacodemons immune to Irth's enchantments, he seeks vengeance on those who exiled him. However, resistance arises against his reign of terror. The inventive thief Ripcat and his clever partner Dogbrick join forces with the brave noblewoman Jyoti and her companions, including her family's ancient sorcerer, Caval. Together, they must summon their courage, wits, and lives to confront the brutal minions of the Dark Shore. This tale weaves a magically charged narrative of a once-charmed world facing supernatural evil that threatens to consume it.
