The Gifting Tree

From the author of Aevalorn Tales comes a story about betrayal and vengeance.

In the Library of the Dead, the aged Tenrali Bubruco, Lower Magistrate of the City State of Caerleon, comes seeking revenge. Aided by Godwick Emberfoot, a Halfling Warlock, and his pseudodragon familiar, Greymalken, Tenrali shares his tale of betrayal and injustice to Godwick so that the spirit of a dead friend can be contacted and an old wrong can be settled. But Godwick has his own agenda. What begins as a quest for retribution unfolds into an epic journey through the depths of forbidden knowledge and the cost of power. And as the shadows close in, Godwick's compassionate counsel hints at the only sliver of hope in the gloom.

If you love stories by Brandon Sanderson, Travis Baldtree, and S. L. Rowland, you will enjoy this must-read tragic fantasy that enthralls as much as it enlightens.
