First Chasm: A Simple Harpy Hunt (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9786180023176)

'Where the Pale Towers couldn't reach-the Sin Binders did.'

Daren is a nineteen-year-old military trainee, fresh out of Illustrander's Pillar Academy, carrying the transitionary rank of 'Warrant Officer, ' ready to ascend among the ranks of the Sin Binders; the royal guard of Illustrander's Pale Towers.

In order to complete his transition into officership, Daren is assigned to a squad and is called upon to fulfill a contract to hunt down a flock of harpies that have been tormenting the peaceful settlements around the peaks of Karnerk Rise. But, having lived his entire life behind the safety of Illustrander's great granite walls and with the unexpected appearance of an Alpha Chasmal, Daren soon discovers that the world outside the capital is more vast and perplexing than he'd ever imagined. The seemingly simple hunt turns into something more convoluting and far-reaching than he will ever know, and the events of it will leave a lasting impact for the rest of his life.

"The red threads, Daren. When the time comes, embrace them-let them entwine. Let them twist and interweave on the tapestry of time."

'First Chasm: A Simple Harpy Hunt' is a Dark Fantasy, novella meant to set up character arcs and world-building that will be revisited and expanded upon in the series 'The Blood Chasms of Illustrander.'
