Blood-Ties

By Bill Mays

Xifanos, the island nation of the warrior women, holds an extensive history filled with heroics, faith and tradition. A xenophobic nation, they rarely allow outsiders within their borders. Males are second class citizens and foreigners plus non-humans a step below that. The Mother's Council presides over the queendom with the queen seated at its head.

Long have their staunch traditions and female dominated caste systems ruled this iron nation of plenty. But, like every great nation across all Pangias and even all EL, they have secrets in their past. Such secrets could disrupt the delicate ruling balance. One of those secrets is about to rear its ugly head, striking fear among the people and awakening a group that has long awaited their chance to challenge the very core of Xifanos' structure.

The emergence of a dragon thought long gone tosses the country into turmoil and draws outsiders on a quest to locate the dragon's lair and be rid of the deadly beast. When a pair of Xifanion men join the outsiders on this quest, they as well as others are sucked into a path that will uncover more than they bargained for. Magic, romance, history and a healthy dose of adventure fill the story as the unlikely assortment of heroes sails towards unknown regions in search of the mighty dragon Vagragorn's lair.
