About Earthson
The companions have reached their destination, Orosturbe, but their mission seems impossible to achieve.
“There is a lot of lovely imagery and lines that provide contrast for the setting, which to me is integral to the story itself. The world building is excellent. This not a story of light and frivolity.” S Moore
Otta’s memories are altered, suppressed, and she cannot tap into the silver fire that runs through her veins with power.
Unable to easily defend herself against sexual assault, Otta’s confidence is shaken, and she makes a chilling choice to leave the safety of the House of the Half Bloods.
As Otta tries to navigate the subterranean roadways beneath the kaerling stronghold, Tari is horrified to discover she is to be The Sacrifice for High Priest Kenril to offer at the appropriate time. Meanwhile, Otta’s brother Erl and his friends, Lored, Ashlar and Stio, are forced to adapt to their new life as champions in Irak Tam, the Fighting Ring.
How will the companions achieve their mission (to rescue Lally and Derri) when they are either slaves, prisoners or don’t know who they are?
