Realm of Beasts

Book excerpt: An enchantress and a wizard get tangled in the grisly plans of an undead creature. Tor Lir, the Nameless One, is unsure what he is. However, he knows he was born to bring balance to the powers of good and evil. Forsaking his birthplace and fleeing from suggestions of a dark knowledge he'd rather not discover, he decides to take his fate into his own hands. A chance encounter with a dead body, a dangerous beast, and a desirous creature lead him on the path to Paradise, where he senses imbalance. Banished from her village and lost in a wicked forest, Citrine makes a deal with a dark creature, but that was before she found Paradise--the legendary land of a friendly giant. Falling in love with the land, Citrine takes advantage of her time to study the lore of herbs and craft a spell of protection for her mythical beasts. When darkness creeps into Paradise, bringing the mysterious Nameless One and an omen of death, Citrine realizes the consequences of her actions spell danger for herself, her beasts, and Paradise. As time runs out the undead come to life. Citrine faces the ultimate showdown as everything she holds dear is ripped away. Will the Nameless One save Paradise or destroy it to welcome an era of peace? Realm of Beasts is the first of six planned books in the epic fantasy series: Legend of the Nameless One.
