Rusty Reece

Book blurb...

In the wake of the exhausting Succession War, Jason seeks solace in Smoky Springs, only to find himself entangled in a dangerous prophecy. Tasked with delivering an ancient athame, Jason must unlock his hidden magic while evading the sinister necromancer Erlender, who craves the kalasha he carries.

Joined by Akela - a powerful wolf shapeshifter - and thrust into a world of transformation, Jason becomes a dragon, a warrior, and a reluctant hero. As he teaches the community to stand strong, they band together to fend off brutal attacks, discovering courage they never knew they had.

But when Erlender's chilling whisper darkens the valley, Jason must confront his greatest fear: the choice between his personal quest and the safety of those he loves.

Will he rise as the true hero Smoky Springs needs?
