| Synopsis: | This is a story of myth and magic. A story set in wild mountains, high and steep, where snowfall hides secrets best forgotten, and a boy, who didn't know any better discoveries a destiny he never wanted. But fate is a fickle thing, and for Gilgamesh Row, a dangerous, strange game. For one thousand years a delicate peace has reigned in the land of Ur, a peace maintained by wizards and knights alike. When Gilgamesh inadvertently claims an ancient relic for himself, he sets in motion a series of events, both dark and terrible, that the nations of Ur use for war. Caught in the shifting political landscape, Gilgamesh must enter the mage's castle of RavensKeep, to discover for himself the truth that lies within, and the secrets it may hold. In a race against time, Gil rushes to undo the mistakes of his past, to save the world, or perhaps destroy it. Set in a world of epic landscapes, monsters, and magic, The Shard of Fire blends fantasy and mystery in an action packed adventure like nothing you've read before. Immerse yourself in the Chronicles of Gilgamesh Row, where nothing ever happens by chance, not ever, and sometimes the smallest choice can make the greatest difference of all. |
