Overview

Adara dreams of joining the Warders, a secret society that protects Eridan. During her field exam in allied Creuse, she spies her trainer Geren, attacking local guards. Is it part of her test? To find out, she enters the dangerous world of Creusean politics with two runaway children as guides.

Alerted by the Eridani thieves' guild of foul play, the Warders dispatch Adara's friends, veteran agent Draham and half-elven Toran, on a mission to save the alliance and if possible rescue Adara and Geren. Will they be forced to choose between their sworn duty and their friends?

About the Author

Unlike many authors, Armen was not an early reader. He can honestly say that he didn’t voluntarily read a book until he finished The Hobbit in sixth grade. After that, reading became a vice as he ravenously devoured science fiction and fantasy stories. Taking a more practical approach to college, he earned a BS in Electrical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he was an Honorable-Mention All-American swimmer his senior year.

Commissioned as an officer in the USAF, he quickly found his way into systems development. After working on top secret ‘Area 51’ projects, where he never saw a single alien (dead or alive), he left the service and earned an MBA from the University of North Carolina. He spent a decade riding the internet wave and moving through five different states. After the wave crashed, his environmental conscience led him to second generation bio-fuels, where a highlight was presenting ideas to jumpstart the industry to United States House and Senate staffers.

Looking for something new, he and his wife opened three franchised hair salons. In addition to grounding them in one place, he finally found time to write those stories that had been bouncing around in his head since high school. His stories mix elements of science and history with a healthy dose of fantasy. When not writing, he can be found swimming, reading a book, or enjoying the outdoors with his family. He lives outside of Rochester, NY with his wife and three children.

Editorial Reviews

So, firstly, let me say that I really enjoyed this book! ... The character development had a maturity that grew at the right pace. I fell in love with the strong Adara without realizing it had happened. The vibrancy of the rich characters and mellifluous beauty of the forest felt as warm as the dungeons did cold.
