Shadow of the Elders - Paperback

by Will Elm (Author)

A plant grows from a single seed. The same is true for power.

When a drought strikes the continent of Bas, family and friends are ripped apart, ancient grudges are revived, and a strange magic is sought that threatens to plunge the world further into chaos.

Savique, a new father, works on an estate shaping stones for the Foreman. After an ill-fated theft, his life begins to unravel and not even the vague prophecies of mystics can stop it. Cast out from his home, without friend or family, Savique will be forced to discover why an old enemy would come to his rescue.

Friends Vaten and Ajeau walk the dying world until a mysterious group of raiders separates them. Vaten is abducted and forced into the life of a prisoner. Taken to a distant land, he must rely on new friends to help him escape. But alliances are never quite what they seem.

From the moment Vaten is taken, Ajeau vows never to give up searching for him. She must journey to the great city of Nouv'eau, the place of her birth, in hopes of discovering a clue to his whereabouts. Little does she know, her return to the city has been expected by a powerful force. One that promises to reunite her with Vaten. And so much more.

Lose yourself in a new epic low fantasy series featuring a cast of morally grey characters who uncover legendary secrets, battle ruthless assassins, and navigate an ancient society full of mystery. Shadow of the Elders is the first book in the Sylvan Record.
