Deep in the forest, rebellion stirs.
A brutal ruler tightens his fist.
Four young men have had enough.
Alija and his friends have never known freedom. Alija, a carpenter’s apprentice, yearns for the days his father speaks of, when his people could move freely without the constant fear of retribution. But how could he and his unarmed friends stand a chance against an army?
Tavan plans and schemes to win his liege’s favor, but the forest itself schemes against him. He must put down yet another rebellion and defeat a ragtag band of villagers if he wants his leader to notice him.
Hiding in the shadows, a forgotten enemy waits in shadows. Ever patient, she bides her time, luring her prey further into the deadly trap. Which side will she favor?
The war is only beginning. Both stand to lose all, before they’ve had a chance to start.
This fast-paced, stand-alone novella sets the stage for the award-winning novel, The Last Mayor’s Son, and introduces the world of The Nivaka Chronicles.
Genre: Fantasy
