Book One of the Lightkeeper Saga
HEIRS
OF ASH
Caleb seems like an ordinary young man, if you set aside the forest that raised him, the spell books he reads, the uncle who drills him for battle, and the dreams he cannot shake. On his seventeenth birthday, distant evil forces turn their scheme toward his home. Sword and sorcery, told in prose and in original art.
By William F. Willavize
The Story
An ordinary young man, an extraordinary birthday
Caleb seems like a normal young man. That is, if you set aside that he was raised in a forest, reads spell books, is constantly trained to fight by his rather large uncle, and is plagued by strange dreams.
On the day of his seventeenth birthday, his world is changed forever, when distant evil forces set an unknown scheme in motion and bring his home directly into their villainous sights.
Among the many trials, people, and changes Caleb finds himself going through, he will have to navigate his own feelings while preparing for a clash between his heart, his mind, and his body.
