A Druid Rises: Tales of Effrin

“Death follows you” The words haunt Owen to his core after his small village of Orinton is slaughtered by Elves from the Ellious Empire, leaving him and his companion Tavia thinking they are the only survivors. They leave their home, everything they knew now turned to ash, and seek refuge. Owen and Tavia not only struggle to move on but also with each other. While Owen is coping with the loss of his mother and friends, he becomes burdened with visions and scars, as he discovers he has abilities he knows nothing about. Cinda, the daughter of the Lord of Orinton, makes it clear of the massacre but not unscathed. Alone and gravely injured, she finds herself floating down a river where she is picked up by the most unlikely of soon-to-be friends. They take her to a foreign land across a sea where she feels completely alone, hiding from the world she is thrust into, and struggles to find who she is and what she is capable of. “Run or fight, but never freeze” A Druid Rises is the first book of a trilogy, set in the continent of Effrin, a place of fantasy, magic, war, and hope. Follow the stories of Owen, Cinda, and others as they face what fate has in store for them. This book is intended for mature audiences. It contains explicit language, graphic violence, and sexual innuendo.
