    About this ebook

    Amala of Ich'tal braved the miasma of a broken world left derelict by the old gods. It stung her wounds and fostered a deep madness in the wildlings. She ventured past the protective walls of her people's settlement on a mission of providence. Accompanied by the sudden resounding crash, the throne of a god had fallen to earth.

      Fall of Man

      Amala of Ich’tal leapt over a fallen tree trunk as she raced through dying woods with aching old trees and fluttering orange leaves.

She ducked as a stray branch swiped through her auburn hair and scratched past her already irritated reddened neck. She pulled her collar up over the reddened portion.

      Three months out of the year, the woods looked as it did in the old library pictures, but this was not one of those months. Summer had drawn to a close and what few leaves remained attached to the winding structures had grown into a muck filled yellow to match the color of the miasma that flowed around her like a curling serpent with no head. Amala wore a mask with a
