Echoes of Truth

All Connor ever wanted was to travel the world and return home to tell the tale. Petty clan strife, strange dark dreams, and a broken heart made leaving his homeland easy. No one told him that returning would be the hard part.

After ten-years abroad, Connor's journey home is sidetracked when he is coerced into escorting the heir apparent to the imperial capital. Along the way, he discovers there is more to his childhood tales of the Fell Hunt than just fiction. Shadowed by ghostly hounds and otherworldly creatures as well as human adversaries, Connor overcomes betrayal and fierce opposition to deliver the heir safely, but finds the capital on the verge of mob rule. A tangled series of events culminate with his charge becoming empress, but his part in the ascension leaves him disillusioned and embittered.
