Ariel's Tear:

Living on the frontiers of Salinor, an aging guard captain named Reheuel finds himself torn between protecting his family and protecting a city of innocent fairies. Lifting his sword in violence for the first time in decades, he sets off on a quest to retrieve a magical gem stolen from the fairies by marauding goblins. Meanwhile, his wife Tressa struggles to hold their family intact as they journey across the now-dangerous frontier and his sons Geuel and Hefthon learn the costs of manhood.

Ageless: Part 1

Decades and leagues removed from his origins on the frontier, Geuel serves as an officer in the roving military order known as the Guards. Accompanied by his constant fallen fairy companion Randiriel, he heads into the backwaters of Serendin hunting a dangerous sand dragon. There, he meets and befriends a strange demigod named Belisari. Together with a band of fellow immortals and Guards, they set off on a journey intended to spit in the eyes of gods.

Ageless: Part 2

Well past the turn of his first century, Hefthon rules his city of Gath Moran in dull and weary peace, yearning for risk or adventure. When an uprising boils up in Elisidor, Hefthon rides forth to the fray, joined by the once-familiar Belisari. But times change, and men change with them. How much can Hefthon trust his brother's former friend?

In this exciting conclusion to the First Immortals trilogy, familiar characters are reunited and threads of story meet again as Veil, Aeschulin, Randiriel, Hefthon, and Belisari all come together to close out their varied stories.
