lost in the darkness of abandonment
scattered solitary singing of chants
in the grace of blight-bearing warriors
once the high dragon’s reign seemed absolute
once the whispers of old gods frightened us
never again–secrets step into light

A new adventure begins deep in the wonder of winter.
Tomes of Candlelight is a new tanka saga that begins with the family of Fynlar, a prodigy of magic. But his early prowess may sooner divide his family rather than save it.

When the thought of bone chilling ice rises
Hearts relate to the fleeing Qunari
Somewhere beyond burning fields and dry lakes
Freedom, true freedom, must exist somewhere

Feel free to come aboard the flotilla
for the future of this Friday climate.
Epicenter of the Greta effect–
