Storm Kin

A legacy can be a gift... or a death sentence.Evandar is a warrior hiding from the ghosts of his past, content to let his legend fade into obscurity. But a desperate young scholar brings an impossible summons that shatters his exile: Evandar is Da'gan, the last heir of a legendary Dragonbourne dynasty-a lineage hunted by a fanatical cult that believes his blood is a corrupting taint that must be purged with fire . Forced to run, his only hope lies with the very strangers he refuses to trust: a stoic dwarf scarred by a past he won't speak of and a graceful elf who wields the power of the ancient woods .Their flight for survival becomes a desperate quest for answers, leading them through blighted lands and into the realm of the Fates themselves. But the price of knowledge is steeper than any of them could imagine. A trial to awaken Da'gan's power costs him a decade in the blink of an eye, and he returns to a world already conquered by a tyrannical warlord who had offered them salvation .With his fellowship shattered by betrayal and heartbreaking sacrifice, Da'gan must finally embrace the legacy he always denied. He must forge a rebellion from the ashes of a fallen world, or watch the future his friends died for be extinguished forever. Believing that stories should be a "glorious escape," Alexandria Love crafts fantasy worlds rooted in history, forgotten tales, and the magic discovered at her own children's bedsides. She learned from tales of giggling leaves and notes from Rudolph that the most powerful magic is the love and imagination we share. This commitment led her to carry her debut novel for over two decades, because its characters deserved a life, not just a story.Ultimately, she writes to build paths back to wonder, hoping readers connect with the lives in her pages and feel that resonance long after the book is closed.
