Of Blood and Fire

by Ryan Cahill · 2021

Epheria is a land fractured by war and deep-seated mistrust, where the squabbling High Lords of the South are kept in check only by the Dragonguard serving the empire of the North. In the remote village of Milltown, Calen Bryer prepares for The Proving, a brutal test of courage and skill where not all survive, still reeling from the tragic loss of his brother. But his world is violently ripped apart when three mysterious strangers arrive with a secret they are willing to die for, thrusting him into a centuries-old war. There is no prophecy, no chosen path—just a young man who bleeds like any other, stepping into a gritty, magic-filled conflict of dragons, gods, and empires.
