The Pain Bearer: An Eldros Legacy Novel

by Kendra Merritt

Overview

Some treasures are better left buried.

Godsblighted. That's what the villagers call her.

Even within her family's protection, Rowan has always known she was different. But now she has the chance to prove that she can protect herself. The chance to prove that different doesn't mean cursed. Leaving behind the broken promise of her failed magic, Rowan joins her mentor in his search for a Giant's artifact known as the Grief Draw. But finding it only adds to her problems. Because the ancient Giants were right. This lantern brings pain.

Rowan's magic might be the barest spark, but it is enough to connect her to Gavyn, a young man trapped inside the lantern after a failed attempt to destroy it. He is suddenly Rowan's only hope for understanding the lantern before it kills again. And she is his only hope for freedom. With fanatic treasure hunters and power-hungry lords closing in, Rowan and Gavyn must figure out how to use the lantern before someone else sets off the weapon even the Giants feared.

About the Author

Books have been Kendra’s escape for as long as she can remember. She used to hide fantasy novels behind her government textbook in high school, and she wrote most of her first novel during a semester of college algebra.

Kendra tells familiar stories from unfamiliar points of view, highlighting heroes with disabilities. Her own experience with partial paraplegia has shown her you don’t have to be able to swing a sword to save the day. If she's not writing, she’s reading, and if she’s not reading, she’s playing video games.

She lives in Denver with her very tall spouse, their book loving progeny, and a lazy black monster masquerading as a service dog.
