Publisher's Synopsis
Book One of The Outerlands
The First Seal was never meant to last.
In a world once saved by gods born of desperate prayer, ancient seals bind a vengeful power beneath the earth. But now the first has begun to break-and something long forgotten is stirring.
In the quiet village of Fenward, twelve-year-old Weylin lives a simple life: helping his mother, chasing his one-eyed cat, and dreaming of the stars. Until the day a stranger arrives on a river barge... and the wind begins to sing.
Weylin carries a magic no one should possess-one that echoes all six sacred gifts. As zealots of the First Flame rise to hunt him, an old wanderer with too many secrets takes the boy under his wing. But Maeric knows the truth: the seal is failing, and Weylin may be the last thread holding the world together.
Far to the south, a girl named Nyari begins to dream of fire and song and storm. She and Weylin have never met. But the Weave already knows both their names.
The world is shifting. The gods are watching.
And the First Seal has already begun to break.
