    About this ebook

    Humans think he's a freak, he just wants answers about his past... but answers are hard to find in a world that's slowly drifting into chaos.

     

    After witnessing as a child the death of his parents, burned alive by dragonfire, Veric seeks for answers about his past in a world of humans that slowly falls into chaos and war.

     

    This volume includes the first three novellas in the series:

     

    1 - Of Dragon Bones and Ashen Tears: Veric finds his first lead in over twenty years. To get an answer, he must retrieve a magic orb from a dark and dangerous place--but he would risk everything, even his own life, to get that answer! He ends up braving a storm, hungry orcs, visions, and a lunatic centaur...

     

    2 - House of Wizardry: While seeking for more answers about his past, Veric is dragged into a rescue mission that takes him into a spell-filled house with doors that lead into strange places... This story introduces two recurring characters: Veric's historian friend Raved, and the wily Devan.

     

    3 - A Kingdom to Die For: While war brews, Veric helps catch a madman who runs an illicit army. An action-packed story, where Sandrin reveals a new side of her personality.

     

    These three stories are the foundation of the series, setting the mood and building up to future events.

     

    "The Swarming Death" is a series of 12 high fantasy novellas that veers progressively into epic. Though it starts gentle, it grows in complexity and becomes darker with each new installment.

      I came fully awake as I sat up and cracked my head on the thwart of my upturned canoe. The pain cleared my head. I felt under my bedroll for my knife, hoping I hadn’t made enough noise to attract the attention of whatever—whoever?—had waked me. I did
