About this ebook

Part One – Unseen Gods
For two thousand years, the oath-takers have maintained the balance between the forces of order and chaos in the kingdoms of Syreth, but that balance is breaking down. For ten years, roving bands of marauders have robbed, beaten, and murdered farmers and craftsmen, merchants and travelers, and war has erupted on the borders of Talmor and Adair.
Rumors of the rise of the old magic, the wild, undisciplined magic of Mordeth and the enemies of the ancient High King reach the oath-takers in the Valley of the Moon. The Guardian of the Valley asks Jorden Thornson, an experienced protector, and his young sister, Ariana, an untried adept, to investigate the rumors, and the two soon find themselves caught up in a frightening and confusing world where reality collides with myth and legend.
Joined by their brother Elentir, an experienced scout and hunter, and a growing number of companions, they embark on a journey that exposes them to pain and death, guilt and fear.

Linda McCarty

Linda McCarty is a retired teacher. She spent twenty-five years in public school classrooms trying to convince her students that learning is fun and exciting and a lifelong endeavor. Before taking on the challenges of elementary and high school classrooms, she taught scuba diving and sailing and still teaches safe boating with the Coast Guard Auxiliary. She also has the great pleasure of traveling the country training Information Services Officers for the United States Coast Guard. She began writing as an innocent pastime, and then an exchange of postcards and scribbled notes began to take on a life of its own and grew into three novels. When she began writing poetry in her classroom to encourage her student’s efforts, she discovered a new love. Linda’s love of writing is eclipsed only by her love of family. She and her husband have no children of their own, but they proudly play the roles of Uncle Chuck and Aunt Linda for her brothers’ and sister’s six wonderful children and a growing number of magical grandchildren.
