The Story of Old: Book One - Beginning

By Chelsea Starling

Long ago, the people of Old fled Etherlia after war had brought the mainland to its knees, but the people of Old brought their own secrets with them to their new home and some secrets can never stay buried.

Elsa Vesperis, a girl from an isolated village on the edge of the world, is summoned by an outsider during a monstrous storm. Outsiders are not permitted in Old. It is a place protected by the Old Gods in more ways than one. But Elsa is made for more than her quiet, fishing village. She is the descendent of the Warrior, sent forth by the Goddess Yelena to vanquish the evil festering within Etherlia.

To save her people, Elsa must travel with the outsider to his country where she is thrust into a world she has never known; a world of slavery, monsters, and cruelty. Her faith in the Old Gods is tested. More than that, she questions how she can live up to the mantle of the Warrior while battling against the purge squeezing the life from Etherlia.
