Only Aron could save his nephew Tarque from the viscous narls that had killed his parents.
It was essential, because a much bigger threat than narls threatened Island World. A mysterious wizard had weakened the Covenant, weakening Arii. A weakened Arii would allow Gwaum to rise again, threatening first Acerland, then all of Island World.
Glade of Death is the first part of the epic, historical fantasy series, Tale of Tarque which is Book IV of the longer Tales of Island World, an epic adventure fantasy series.. In this fantasy series, the powerful Wizards of the Golden star use their magic to battle threats to Island World.
