For years, Edwin watched his Human father grow old while he stayed young. Listening to his father's stories of the world beyond their forest home. Tales of dragons, bandits, undying, and the Esa; The sworn defenders of the light, but to them Edwin was a mutt. A mongrel dog born from an unholy union. The sword was forged by the Esa, and they would do anything to reclaim its power, but Raven found him first. Raven brings Edwin into his company of forgotten outlaws. Whisper a female elf assassin disguised as a man. Mirage and Hairloom, a pair of escaped slaves. Mirage's wild magic enabled their escape. Before Hairloom, a Minotaur warrior, carried his only friend to safety. As Raven seeks to understand how Edwin can effortlessly control the sword of kings, Raven's men start to take a liking to this young hero.

I'm Erick Bates and I've been telling stories my whole life. As a kid I told my first stories through my GI-Joes. There was conflict, diversity, and even love triangles between my little plastic toys, but I was soon diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD. Reading was always hard, and the modern educational system failed me. I was always writing stories, but my teachers never used my love of storytelling to help me read. I was always told you can't write because you can't read. I was so angry when I was told my school journal wasn't for stories. It was for the real world, not a place of imagination. It would take me years, but I would teach myself to study as I worked my way through college. Ounce I understood how I learnt, I was able to graduated Magna Cum Laude.It would still take me decades to finish my first story. My first story was to be a ghost-mystery-love story, but I quickly realized I didn't have the skill to write it. That story revolved more around what I didn't say to create a compelling mystery, rather than what I said. I put the story of Arthur and Angela on the shelf, and I decided to start with a fantasy. I thought, that will be easy to write. I was wrong. It toke me years to write, and build the world of my first book. Every time the story got stuck, I would have to spend weeks filling out the world to keep the story moving, and yes, I fell into the trap of building the world more than writing the story. I learnt that the world is meaning less without the story to bring readers into it. With my first story finished, I hope you enjoy the world I created.
