Prelude

By K R Schultz

A banished heretic and a fugitive warrior, united by a grizzled drover with a dark past, must race to find a mythical book to reunite their warring peoples before a returning demonic force and its fanatical cult consumes their world.

The scholar Rehaak saw the end of the world in a vision. For his trouble, he was branded a heretic and cast out. A world away, the young warrior Laakea is forced to flee his home, his only inheritance a death sentence and the warrior skills of a father who hates him.
Both are exiles, running from a past that haunts them. But as they are stalked by mysterious, black-eyed assassins and guided by forces they don't understand, their separate journeys of survival begin to converge. They are pieces of a puzzle they cannot see, brought together by Isil, a traveler who knows the enemy's true face because she has seen it herself. The Nethera are returning. And the world's only hope may be three broken people who have already lost everything.
As Rehaak and Laakea prepare to face their enemies, Aelfric, Laakea's bitter father, begins his own journey of redemption. He is determined to reclaim his position and seek vengeance on those who wronged him.
With the stage set for an epic battle between the forces of light and darkness, The Songs of Aarda promises an expansive fantasy saga. It explores timeless themes of faith, family, and the cost of power, set in a richly imagined world on the verge of cataclysmic change.
