Storms of Change (Legends of Iathia) Kindle Edition

Before the world had a name, it had a war.Commander Edo has fought for three years over the last fertile valley in a dying land.

It tore the veil between the physical and spiritual realms, flooding the world with a force called Essence.

The choice he makes will give life to a civilization. What it takes from him will never be returned.Storms of Change is the prequel novella to the Legends of Iathia epic fantasy series.Before the world had a name, it had a war. Read more
