Prince Sargan is the worst swordsman in all Zraemia. His clumsy performance draws scorn from his uncle, pity from his sister, disappointment from his father, and sniggers from everyone else. But soon, Sargan will enter the temple and begin his long-awaited path to the seat of high priest. His brother will one day inherit the throne. His sister will marry. The enemy king will leave them alone. And all will be right with the world. Unless... the gods change the game. And when the gods play, the game turns to war - the Great War. Ancient prophecies surface, dark enemies rise, new allies emerge, old ones can't be trusted, magic scorches the earth, reluctant heroes are made, and nothing is ever the same again. 'The Secret Chronicles of Lost Magic' is a collection of standalone epic fantasy novels rather than a series. Each novel is a complete story that invites readers to fully immerse into a rich fantasy world. Each 'Chronicle' is set in a different era within the same world and can be read in any order, but here's the chronology for interested readers: #1 The Raven - a 'prehistoric' era #2 Dragonshade - a 'Bronze Age' era #3 The Veridian Wars - coming soon BONUS CONTENT If you enjoy The Raven and would like to read a follow-up short story trilogy, you can sign up to Aderyn's monthly newsletter to get your free copy of the first story, The Doom of Arlg-Teg.
