Season of the Runer

The endless road and life of a monster-hunting Runer has gone stale for Tzarik and death is the only alternative. Tired of risking his life for the prejudiced people of Al’Myrah, it’s time to just let go. The only thing that stands in his way: A Runer cannot take his own life, breaking his oath to the dark magic that binds him to the hunt. When a warlord from the far East threatens her family, Sybal, a young diamond mine heiress with a lavish lifestyle, takes action to protect her family and estate.

“There may be no ghosts or ghouls here, but there are monsters. It’s our job to stop them". Fleeing Al’Myrah, Tzarik sails with Sybal as far away from Sharar as they can. Landing on the far Eastern continent of Xia, they discover there are no Runers on Xia, and a civil war is heating up between the traditionalists and those who believe it is time for Xia to join the ways of the modern world. A mysterious creed called Wushito culls the monsters without runes or the white blood. Revered or feared, Wushito exists to support the ruler of Xia - the one touched by the White Dragon.

There is no life without death. No love without cruelty. No freedom apart from bondage. There must be one to have the other.

Returning home from war in Caerwren, Ziyad finds another man who has taken his Al'Myrahn throne, wife, and swayed the people of Moshav against him. Turning to dark magic with the help of a necromancer to exile the usurper, the mysterious price might just break the hardened Eastern soldier.
