They Who Linger: Book One: The Everlight Saga

Ireolden has seen many Ages come and go and always the Volskaia were involved somehow.

Shem was imprisoned at the end of the First Shadowfall when he and his minions were defeated by Vargus and his Volskaian kin. Shem has spent thousands of years plotting his revenge and will stop at nothing to bring about the Second Shadowfall.

Festus has been chronicling and studying the history of Ireolden his whole life but now that his adventuring years are long behind him, he yearns for those days and misses his friends deeply and the tales they had to tell.

Corlag and Branick have lived many lives on Ireolden, experiencing the birth and death of numerous ages and races. While Branick seems content to be living a quiet life, Corlag is restless beyond measure and haunted by increasingly frequent dreams that indicate the current age is coming to an end. The discovery of an ancient artifact fragment will lead them to places they would never have expected.

Syndara and Aileesha are nomadic hunters from the village of Garomvol, high in the Obodoon Mountains, that will be set on a journey across the world when they also discover an ancient artifact fragment on a return trip from the snowy plains that are their hunting fields.

They Who Linger begins an adventure through the end of an age and the birth of a new world amidst a battle between light and darkness for the very soul of the universe.

Ages end. Heroes rise. Death comes for all.

Will you stand in the light, or be consumed by darkness?
