The Thief of Legacy

The blade of time spares no soul standing idle in its path

Kai Tarios, battle-worn veteran of the Republic Guard, retires with close friends to a peaceful village in a quiet corner of the Ring of the World-and it’s blinding dreadful. He has his reasons to stay: a ledger to clear and promises to keep. But by The Five, the road is calling.

Arkum Satiah, luminary of the Seeker’s Institute, knows all too well the ruthless game of power. When forbidden knowledge surfaces-defying the very doctrine she’s sworn to uphold-Arkum faces a choice: rise to claim her rightful place in history, or be consumed by the machine that buries all who dare challenge it.

As extraordinary events unfold-events in clear violation of The Seeker’s truth-who will seize the opportunity to rise? Will this be the forging of a bright and powerful future? Or an invitation to open long-closed doors to dangerous, familiar ways?

With world-crushing power in the hands of a few, will balance be restored? Or will everything and everyone that matters simply cease to exist, erased from the annals of history?

The Thief of Legacy is an epic fantasy tale of courage, ambition, and loyalty. Debut novel by Andrew Simpson, the first from the Chronicles of the Wardens.
