    About this ebook

    "Vivid world building, interesting plot, and a gorgeous book.... If you liked Jordan's Wheel of Time books I think you will like this one as well.” – Nadine, Goodreads

    This novella is part three of Ghosts in the Yew, also available as a collection.

    Enhedu’s hostile neighbors have plans of their own.

    Across the country magic grows.

    “Everything we knew or loved was gone. We felt each of the wounds that had killed us and longed for the touch of our kin – longed to see the smile or hear the coo of our children.”

    The country is tested in this epic fantasy surrounded by the mystery of old gods, blood magic, and statecraft. Ignited by redemption and conquest, this journey will test their struggles to survive and will put them at odds with their families, their nation, and the very powers that shaped the world. But, this story is bigger than them.

    It’s bigger than all of us..

    You can read the trilogy in full volumes, or broken up into five novellas each.

    The Vestal Series

    A tale of violent magic, intrigue, and statecraft, the Vesteal Series is the story of four souls that are banished beyond the edge of the map to a land of gnarled forests, ancient magic, and the site of a terrible murder. Their struggles to survive will put them at odds with their families, their nation, and the very powers that shaped the world.

Brett and Mark Laurence, with a little science fiction from David Brin sprinkled in. Blake is the author of the Vesteal Series, which includes Ghosts in the Yew, Native Silver and The Vastness. According to fans, "Blake excels at world-building" which gives "each of the characters their own unique voice" and "ring(s) truer to the human condition". The Draumr Kopa Fantasy Book Blog even exclaimed, "It always amazes me how such an extensive story can sprout from a single human's mind.
