Sum of Four

A mortal roams the surface of Vallis; her fate, and the apparent fate of the world, igniting once again the war between creation and annihilation. FOUR STORIES UNFOLD When the heart of his sacred forest is attacked, Dymurin, the ancient Druid King of the Far'Oak Stride, embarks upon a journey that takes him over the land in search of a mortal holding the key to the world's survival. Full of vim, vigor, and plenty of blunder, fuelled by nothing but good intentions, Knorlite seeks to hone his martial prowess and become the ultimate warrior for his people, even as the seriousness of the world confounds him. Sharpened by a clan of assassins into the deadliest blade they have ever known, the last fragments of Mohridin's sanity strain beneath the Grandmaster's demands of perfection. In an endless quest to uncover the mysteries of the Thuric'Verse, Khemics – High Magister-In-Waiting of House Thoskh – stumbles into the Timeless Archives, realm to the Deity of Knowledge, Fate, and Time, where the weight of a singular word drives him into action. Their paths will intertwine. The consequences of their actions will shape the future of Vallis. And the Deities will be watching with great interest… For readers who enjoy: • Character-driven, multi-POV epic fantasy • Slow-burn, world-spanning sagas • Immersive, lore-rich worlds • Morally complex heroes and villains Step into the world of Vallis and begin The Sum Of Four with Druid King's Domain.

Deities of Undeath, Blight, and Sorrow. Life, the Moons, and Shadow. By the axe... Deities at war is never a good sign. As long as the mortal lives, however, it seems that the survival of Vallis will continue. For now... FOUR STORIES INTERSECT The Forest Queen's vision granted Dymurin the name of a chosen mortal, taking him far to the north, yet in his absence an ancient evil stirs within the sacred forest. Strange new faces appear at the Scurry Tuck Inn, and a new master takes to the dais. But is this new master amused, or deadly serious? It is Knorlite's responsibility to find out. Corruption festers within the ranks of the Shadowclan. There are those that would put a blade in one of their own, and others that would betray the Grandmaster in secret. Though for Mohridin, his mind is fixated only on the soul he must send to The Abyss. The Adjunct's mark draws Heyoko deep into the delirious touch of the black desert. Meanwhile, Khemics's pursuit of historic knowledge pulls him into a conflict of powers far larger - and far older - than he anticipated. Every path is laden with uncertainty. And the scales upon which domination weighs are easily swayed into motion. The Deities, forever observing, do not always act in silence… For readers who enjoy: • Character-driven, multi-POV epic fantasy • Slow-burn, world-spanning sagas • Immersive, lore-rich worlds • Morally complex heroes and villains Journey through the world of Vallis and continue The Sum Of Four with Assassin's Perdition.
