The Binder's Road

A troubled land.
A priceless gift.
And the dawn of a new light.

Six years after a conflict that extinguished all magelight, Eiden Myr is in chaos. In a dying trader town, three little girls fight to protect a deadly secret, while a young lad-of-allcrafts finds the first clue in a chilling conspiracy. In the far north, the remaining warders struggle to compensate for magelight's loss. In the far south, a military race is remembering its origins and rousing from its stupor. Along the shore-line, guerrilla fighters prepare to battle for control of the realm--while one woman, a disgraced soldier, summons the courage to defy them all.

And on a remote, windswept island, a new breed of scholar strives to plumb the mysteries of ancient texts...

Which of them is the binder destined to reshape the shattered world?
