Llyris Fildarae is an outcast tainted by a sliver of magic in a world terrified of the supernatural. Loathed and distrusted, she uses her ability to control a magical Unnamed to survive.
Caedric Carpera is desperate to save his son from a deadly illness. He enlists Llyris to locate a lost tome containing secrets capable of healing him, but its location is a mystery that’s already claimed lives. Thrust into a hostile world, Llyris and her companions risk everything to find the relic and return before the child’s sickness prevails.
But who is the enigmatic old man who appeared out of nowhere to set them on this dangerous expedition? And what does he really want?
Only a perilous mission to an untamed land can save the boy and reveal the truth.
Except some truths are too shocking to be exposed.
My name is Bruce. As far as I know, I'm not named after anyone in particular, but I quite often point out that the last king of Scotland was Robert the Bruce, though I'm not sure how he rates a "the " in his name and I don't (perhaps "Bruce the Blake" doesn't have quite the same ring to it). I'm divorced and trying to find my way through dating in my forties, and somehow managed to father two amazing children.
Born in Nova Scotia, the son of a military man, my family moved around a lot when I was a kid, with three stints in Nova Scotia, as well as P.E.I. and B.C. before getting stuck in Ontario (no offence to anyone who lives there, but I've become one of those stuck up British Columbians you all hate who thinks if you don't live in B.C., there must be mental illness in your family).
Officially, I work as a sales manager at a new car dealership in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, but don't let my vocation colour your opinion of me (or the way I spell colour, labour and the like, for that matter). In reality, I am a writer struggling to get published in a way that will earn me an income (for my stories that are published and don't make me any money, you can go to "All the Books" and find links). They say it takes three things to become a successful author: skill, time and persistence. Number three, I've got; number one you can read my stories and decide for yourself; that sucker in the middle always seems so difficult to find.
