Amazon B&N iTunes Kobo

Evil lurks in the desolate Barrens of Krymzyn. For millions of Eras, predators with insatiable cravings have prowled the wasteland. When a traitor of the Delta enters their realm, the solitary beasts may finally have a leader to unite them.

As a new order emerges in the Barrens, Chase and Sash begin their lives together. While Chase fights to prove he belongs in Krymzyn, the power inside Sash flourishes in ways no one could have imagined. But a vengeance from the wasteland is soon unleashed upon them.

After Chase is trapped deep in the Barrens, his only escape is into the Infinite Expanse. Unaware of the deathly perils that take shape there, he may be lost forever. For Sash to return him from the endless wilderness, she’ll have to harness a mystical energy not seen since the beginning of time.

Two men and a woman stand up from the group sitting on the nearby hill. With spears in their hands, they walk towards the man. As they pass by the tree, one of the brutes kicks the empty steel transport at the base of the trunk. The man calmly bends down to the ground and slips his fingers around the shaft of his spear. As he stands again, he returns his eyes to the Murkovin, his weapon firmly in his grip. The three creatures stop when they reach him.

“We’re leaving,” one gruffly says to the man.

“Where do you think you’re going?” the man asks.

“The Barrens,” the creature answers. “You said we’d have sap, but you’ve given it all to the others.”

“They have an important task ahead of them,” the man replies. “You’ll consume all you want when Darkness falls.”

“You don’t know the ways of the Barrens,” the creature snarls. “You’re of the Delta.”

“I’m the way of the Barrens now!” the man shouts.

The creature’s muscles tense. When the man sees the Murkovin’s eyes drop to the veins bulging from his own neck, he knows the beast thirsts for his blood. Before the creature has a chance to move, the man erupts with wrath. His spear tip slices the air until the point slams into the skull of the beast. A burst of white light envelops the steel as the man hammers the brute’s head into the ground.

The second creature thrusts his spear at the man. As he ducks under the point, the man rips his weapon out of the skull of the dead Murkovin at his feet, spiking it straight into the chest of the attacking creature. The sharpened steel impales the Murkovin’s heart while blood spouts from the wound. Gurgling from blood filling his lungs, the creature collapses to the dirt.

With a sweep of his leg under the third beast’s feet, the man knocks her to the ground. Her spear flailing in her hand, she tries to jump to her feet. The man smashes his foot into the creature’s face, crushing her nose. He plunges the point of his spear at her head but freezes just as the tip pierces her skin.

“Go to the wasteland,” he growls. “Tell all who dwell there what you’ve seen. Tell them there’s a new power in the Barrens.”

The man lifts his foot away from her blood-soaked face. He slowly turns to the other creatures still sitting on the side of the hill. With dread in their crimson eyes, the Murkovin stare at him.

“Does anyone else dare to defy me?” the man yells.

The creatures lower their eyes to the dirt at their feet. Darkness will fall soon, they know. The man will provide sap for them.
