Bane of Ashkarith: A Legends of Alcardia Novel

By Ariel Paiement

A 2000 year old mystery and truth society wants to keep buried. Can Kaidan survive his quest to solve the mystery? The stakes have never been higher...

One of Alcardia's best archaeologists, Kaidan Tadegan begins work on a new site trying to answer one question: did the gods really clash on Dubarin Hill two-thousand years ago, or did something else happen here? While on the dig site, he runs across his first clue, but he gets more than he bargained for when he discovers a woman's bones in a section of the dig site where no other remains have been found. There, in the arms of a corpse that doesn't fit with the rest of the bones on the site, he finds a journal. A journal that tells a story that will turn the myths of the old world and the established concepts of good and evil on their heads... But is it true and could this solve the 2000-year-old mystery of what happened on Dubarin Hill?

When the diary leads to a city that's supposedly long gone, Kaidan's journey becomes more difficult than expected. Things become even more tangled when he discovers that the city isn't gone, but it's no place for the living. Unable to give up on his quest, he forges ahead. What lies ahead is uncertain, and even more uncertain is whether Kaidan will survive this quest. He has only two questions in his mind. Will he find the truth in this city of the dead? And will the world accept the truth?
