Blackridge: Book One of the So'ladiun

By Laurie Y. Elrod

"If there is ever any one thing that I would have you remember I said, it would be what I am about to say to you right now . . . Elhrin, believe in who you are-reach deep within and tap into a power that far exceeds the limits you have placed on yourself."

Elhrin Caddoch, a sheltered young woman blessed with rare magical abilities, never asked for the life thrust upon her after her mentor, Gryphon Idwyr, was slain by mysterious beasts along the banks of the Green River.
She certainly never wanted the burden that followed.

Soon after his death, Gryphon begins appearing in vivid dreams that feel impossibly real, insisting she alone can stop the war being orchestrated by Obsudius, the Dark God of Do'athra.
At first, Elhrin dismisses the dreams as nothing more than grief and imagination. The idea that a god is plotting the destruction of her homeland-and that she, an inexperienced young mage, is destined to stand against him-seems impossible to believe.

Then the impossible begins to happen.

An enemy army suddenly appears outside the town of Blackridge. The same monstrous beasts that killed Gryphon attack her village once again. As each event unfolds exactly as she saw it in her dreams, doubt gives way to a terrifying possibility.

What if the dreams are real?

What if Gryphon truly is reaching out from beyond the grave?

And if he is . . . can she accept the destiny he claims is the only hope of saving Anderan?
