“An epic and GLORIOUS tale.” – Timothy Wolff, author of The Legacy of Boulom series
“A deeply plotted and intricate fantasy with sci-fi flair.” – Melissa Cave, author of the Empire of the Stars series
“Mind blown. The extent of this expansive world Tim McKay has created is incredible.” – Trinity Cunningham, author of The Guardians of the Weldafire Stone series
Remember the wolf.
Remember what’s out there in the dark.
Valdaris was a middling artillery captain before his people fell to a conquering rival.
Then he fell further still, snatched from the battlefield by a ruthless cult and cast into the depths of ultimate evil.
Transformed by powers he can’t begin to understand, Valdaris seeks revenge on those who tried to destroy him. Instead, he’ll face monsters beyond his most terrifying nightmares. He joins with allies caught in the chaos of his war with evil, oblivious to his true nature and the darkness closing in on their world.
Full of dragons, monsters, found family, magical weapons, intense duels, and epic battles, The Fall of Selvandrea follows a vigilante’s quest against malice, greed, and the shadow within. Heroes and villains join against the rising dark, and against a tyrant whose schemes may destroy them all.
And from calamity’s ashes, a new power shall rise.
