Bane of the Broken

The Kantos: Book 1

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

One searches for adventure. One chases her past. The third seeks redemption. All lead to the blades.

Nine swords, nine families, and nine keys. They are the only things keeping the ancient God Lokera imprisoned in the void between worlds. But the location of the blades, and the oaths sworn to carry them, have been lost to the ages.

The Drakocoharen brood mother has hatched a new clutch of dragon-human hybrids in the heart of Kaesun, where the heroes chosen to defend the world have no idea of the pacts sworn by their ancestors.

It falls to the chosen few, to discover their birthrights, and stop Lokera from entering the world once again.
