Keena suffers a poisonous bite and is left for dead, until his father finds him languishing in the forest.

Can a sorcerer pull the poison from Keena's body before the damage takes his life? If he survives, will he be amune to the sting of the arachlan?

There is only one way to test the magical treatment...

What is Eldros Legacy?

Eldros Legacy is a multi-author, shared-world, mega-epic fantasy project managed by four founders who share the vision of a new, expansive, epic fantasy world. In the coming years the founders committed themselves to creating multiple storylines where they and many others will explore and write about a world once ruled by tyrannical giants.

The founders are working on four different primary storylines on four different continents. Over the coming years, those four storylines will merge into a single meta story where fates of all races on Eldros will be decided.

In addition, a growing list of guest authors, short story writers, and other contributors will delve into virtually every corner of each continent. It’s a grand design, and the founders have high hopes that readers will delight in exploring every nook and cranny of Eldros Legacy. So, please join us and explore the world of Eldros and the epic tales that will be told by great storytellers, for Here There Be Giants!

We encourage you to follow us at www.eldroslegacy.com to keep up with everything going on. If you sign up there, you’ll get our newsletter and announcements of new book releases. You can also follow us on FaceBook

Sincerely,

Todd, Marie, Mark, and Quincy  (The Founders)
