About the Story

THE LEADERS of the land are not what they seem. Behind them stand far greater powers—creatures that have secretly herded and fed upon humanity for generations. And now the ancient overseer of the clan lands has returned for her harvest.

Standing in her way the spirited blacksmith’s daughter accused of practicing the forbidden sleth magic; the young man hunting her; and the ferocious monster who wants nothing more than to be free.

Each believes something different about who can be trusted, what magic really is, and where the true danger lies. But as old secrets begin to surface, they find themselves caught in a struggle against a power far beyond anything they imagined.

If they fail, the whole land will pay the price.

Start the adventure with Servant, an epic fantasy of unlikely heroes, forbidden magic, and fearsome creatures.
