Last Stand of the Stone Fist 2023 Edition

<p>A troubled past. War in the present. A dark future. </p>
<p>Brode grew up a bastard in Athra, looked down upon as a child of chaos. Sent away to the dragon riders as a squire, Brode counted it his luckiest day when Silas Brightbark of Coedhen vouched for him to join their ranks. Now a Champion in the Order he faces the largest incursion the world has ever seen. </p>
<p>Sent on a far flung mission to the Disputed Lands, Brode and Silas discover a remote town not on any map. It's a town of outcasts, of broken people, of folk that order has forgotten. As a scourge swarm gathers nearby, Brode and Silas face the toughest fight and decision of their lives.</p>
<p>A note to readers: I would recommend you read this novella AFTER book 1 in the series, <em>Ascendant.</em> While a prequel in terms of timeline it would spoil aspects of Ascendant for you. It also helps to set up book 2 in the series, <em>Unbound.</em></p>
