Deathrunes and Dragons

This is a world where mages derive their sorcery by burning jewels, or else ripping away the abilities of others through transplants. A world of dinosaurs, monsters and inhuman monster hunters. A world of daily eclipses, periodic meteor showers and trains built upon the spines of beasts. This is Serathur.This novella follows the exploits of Varity Varen, failed actor, average jewelburner and reluctant monster hunter. Not only is Varity a penniless wanderer stranded in the Cimhura deserts, but he finds himself captured and imprisoned by the Dominga, a tyrannical force well on the way to conquering all of Serathur. But Varity has a secret, one that may see him deal the Dominga a significant blow, or one that will get himself killed horribly in the attempt.
