Enter a world of frosty caverns, dark, dangerous tunnels, and treacherous politics . . .
Welcome to the underground realm of Iskalon, where the award-winning Dreams of QaiMaj epic fantasy series begins. Six short tales illustrate the complexity of a world where some have magic, others do not, and all must survive within the constraints of a society confined by finite resources and a narrow worldview.
The tales include: Dreamer: The youngest princess of Iskalon has a dream that draws her into the dangerous Outer Tunnels. Along the way she acquires a shadow . . . is it rescue, or an even greater danger?
Guildless: One of Iskalon’s disenfranchised guildless tells the tale of his fall from polite Iskalon society. This is a tale of what it can mean to follow your passion–at great cost.
Warrior: The daughter of a war hero must let go of her mother’s legacy and embrace her own strength and identity.
Fisher: A philosophical young Fisher falls out of his boat and is saved by one of the all-powerful, mysterious Icers of Iskalon. The encounter just may change the way he sees his world, forever.
Player: The Prince of the Realm is given two weeks off from all duties. Just how much trouble can once prince get into in two weeks?
Slink: A simple scouting trip to the Outer Tunnels turns into a nightmare for an adept Warrior. As he searches for the way home through dangerous, unknown territories, he finds something he didn’t know he needed . . .
Includes an extended preview of Dream of a Vast Blue Cavern, a glossary and maps, and original art by the author.
