A Sagas of Vaelora Story
Before the blade. Before the darkness. Before the legend.
Desrael of the Verdant Watch thought escorting a young merchant prince would be simple work. But the road between the Veyrin Republic and the United Burrowlands runs through contested ground, where the Bristlekin shrewfolk still rage against their ancient rejection from the burrowfolk confederation.
One territorial dispute. One toll. One shadowblade's warning. And the name Babax Merrifur—a merchant's son who will one day shake the foundations of the world.
In the borderlands, independence has a price. And every journey begins with a single, dangerous step.
