Rhydan Balor, a starving sellsword, thought he was hunting wild game in the magical Verdant Sea. Instead, he slaughtered a young Dragona whelp. Caught by the Light Clan and confronted by the grieving mother, Rhydan expects execution.
Instead, the Elders offer a cruel mercy: his life in service. He must lead a dangerous quest to investigate rumors of a long-lost elemental clan rising to unmake the world - the same one that nearly destroyed everything a thousand years ago.
Joined by the whelp's grieving mother Elari, a loyal blacksmith friend, a dwarf ranger and his dire wolf, and a quirky gnome alchemist with explosive healing magic, Rhydan embarks on The Elemental Path. As they travel through sleeping villages, ancient trials, and corrupted enclaves, bonds of guilt, friendship, and unexpected love form - while Rhydan discovers he may be the rare "Prismatic" who can wield all six elements.
In a world of Humans, Dwarves, Gnomes, Ellis, and the six Dragona clans, one terrible mistake could spark war... or forge a new legacy.
Echoes of Starlight: The Elemental Path is a heartfelt high-fantasy epic of atonement, found family, elemental magic, and soul-shaking choices - perfect for readers who love humor, deep lore, and characters who grow through sacrifice.
