Tales of Sevrin
If you've read and enjoyed my Forgotten Realms stories, chances are you'll feel right at home in the islands of Sevrin, the setting of a new "e-riginal" fantasy series.
Twenty years ago, the people of Sevrin overthrew Eldreath, the sorcerer who'd ruled for as long as anyone could remember. A Council of Adepts--men who know the secrets of alchemy and build marvelous clockwork creations--now rules the land. The old ways are suppressed and magic is highly suspect.
Fox Winterborn, a young thief, is determined to see magic return to the land. His exploits strike a chord in the hearts of those who find the Adepts' regime repressive. Whispers of rebellion prompt Rhendish, the adept who rules the largest of Sevrin's islands, to find Fox and put a stop to his dreams.
But Fox has gathered several powerful allies: a young dwarf, an exiled fairy, an alchemist of great brilliance but dubious mental stability, and am elf named Honor.
Every member of his little band has secrets of his or her own. The person Fox is most inclined to trust--the elf who once saved his life--is bound to Rhendish in ways she herself does not fully understand.The first two books of the Thorn Trilogy, HONOR AMONG THIEVES and HONOR BOUND, are available now. WORD OF HONOR will be out in March 2012.
