The Descendant: Shards Book One

by Jason Gabriel

Overview

The Descendant - An Action-Packed Epic Fantasy Adventure

A shattered past. A world on the brink of war. A destiny that cannot be denied.

Tanyl was once a proud and noble prince of the Elven realm. He walked proudly among the elven people with grace and wisdom. But that was before the one he loved was lost because of a soul-breaking betrayal.

Now Tanyl is a mere shadow of what he once was. He is haunted by ghosts, he is consumed by bitterness, and he has lived in exile for five hundred years. But it is not just exile from his people. It is exile from his purpose. The weight of the past clings to him like a curse. A hidden weakness shackles the power that should define him but is denied.

The world is burning. Darkness has risen and his destiny calls.

To save what remains, Tanyl must rise from the ashes of his former self. He must discover the answer to the secret that binds him. He must claim the power denied to him and he must become the leader he was born to be.

If he fails, the world will burn.

Start the journey today! Grab The Descendant and dive into an unforgettable tale of magic, war, and destiny.
