Book Synopsis

2023 Literary Global Award Finalist for Best Debut Novel

Blacksmith, Quistix, suffers a tragic loss the night a bandit invades her humble Bellaneau home in search of "The Illuminator." After months of crushing loneliness, the disheveled half-elf is out for blood, seeking revenge on the man who shattered her idyllic life, seeking answers about why this elusive Illuminator is so highly sought-after. A wounded wyl, a brilliant esteg, and child-like dragonling soon join her on her odyssey.

But Destoria is a dangerous place. The isle is bursting with clever hybrid creatures, floating magical cities, treacherous backstabbers, drug-addled bandits, and the isle's sadistic, dikeeka-peddling new queen: Exos Tempest.
