Kingdoms Beyond The Mist

By Marcus Farmer

He burned a house for his father's road. Beyond the Mist, he will have to answer for it. At twelve, Jalen Lethos followed his father's orders. He burned a house to make way for a road. In the next village, a child died by his hand. So he ran south, into the Deep Mist, where no army has ever crossed. Beyond it lies Veyrasha, a desert kingdom of guarded water, towering Colossi and great Houses that make every order answer for itself. House Solkhem takes in the foreign boy and his beast, Raihar. But at the edge of the desert a village has gone silent. Its spring has been poisoned by a cult whose crest cracks crystal, and the animals are fleeing something no one can name. Jalen offers his service. He is about to learn the difference between obedience and duty, and what it costs to keep his word. For readers of The Poppy War, Red Sister and Assassin's Apprentice: an adult coming-of-age military fantasy about guilt, found family, and the bond between a boy and his beast. Content note: war violence, the death of a child, ritual killing, and captivity.
