The Queen's First Longrifle: Case File TDG-512E (The Time Bureau Files)
Born Anari. Raised human. Hidden from a world that would fear what he is.
As an infant, Rowan Wheaton is carried from the deadly Liminalis Forest and placed into the arms of human frontier settlers. Tomas and Elin Wheaton take him as their son, conceal his pointed ears, and raise him among rifles, farms, wilderness, and people who would never knowingly accept an Anari as one of their own.
Rowan grows into a longrifleman, a husband, and a man who believes he knows exactly where he belongs.
He is wrong.
Torn from the life he built, Rowan is drawn into the hidden world of his birth and discovers the truth his human parents could never give him: an ancient clan, blood relatives he never knew existed, strange magic carried in his own blood, and a civilization fighting for survival against horrors awakening within the forests of Vaelthara.
Yet becoming Anari does not erase the human man who raised a rifle before he ever raised a sword.
As clans fall, old hatreds awaken, and forces thought lost to history begin moving again, Rowan must become something neither civilization has seen before. His path will eventually cross that of Kellyn Windstream, the legendary Queen of Swords, who is gathering the scattered Anari clans against a war whose shadow reaches across centuries.
Rowan belongs to two peoples.
Soon, both may need him.
The Queen has found her First Longrifle.
