Hope

Ed R. Green

The magician Kehlburn finds a sapphire reservoir of magical souls used 800 years ago to enslave the continent of Niandria. He uses the gemstone to subdue one country and attacks another. To gain more power, he experiments with a ritual which tears the magical souls of siriads from their bodies and imprisons them within the sapphire. Terek, a human trader from the city of Forestwaith, falls in love with the siriad Alora. Kehlburn kidnaps Alora and begins his torturous ritual to harvest her soul. Unless Terek can save her, and with her help sew together the fragmented countries of a long-dead alliance, Kehlburn will crush Niandria under his boot. "Humans, elves, siriads, and dwarves unite on an epic journey through an exquisitely crafted fantasy world to confront evil forces of dragons, demons, and goblins. With endearing characters, a compelling plot, and Green's masterful prose, Hope is pure magic." -Judith Barban, award winning author of Poplar River and The Town of Eleven Colors
