Shadow In Ar'sanciond - Sarina Langer

"If you are a Brandon Sanderson fan, then Langer is a writer of high fantasy who you should enjoy with layers of world building and indepth backstory." (ARC review)

In the beginning, everyone died.

Sanciond is the magic capital of the North and home of the sorcerers watching over the country of Ar'Sanciond. With a library covering every subject imaginable, only one line of research is forbidden:

The study of the Mists, cradle of all evil where no light can dwell.

Sorcerer Eldon is granted permission to lead pioneering research into the Mists, but what he finds there-and what he unleashes-threatens the very fabric of Ar'Sanciond.

Seer Mavis, Sorcerer Vail, and Head Sorcerer Felan are the only ones who notice their friend's changed energy. Only quick covert action can save Sanciond...

But not all plans are meant to succeed, and not every story has a happy ending.

Shadow in Ar'Sanciond is the prequel novella to the Relics of Ar'Zac trilogy but can also be read on its own.

RISE OF THE SPARROWS (#1)
