Led by a sorcerer, a massive army of men and monsters attack Vetch’s homeland, the land of Ambria. With no idea how far the enemy’s power extends, Vetch struggles against impossible odds to keep himself and those he cares about safe. In an epic tale of intrigue, magic, love, monsters, and Greek myth, can a sixteen-year-old warrior with a too-gentle heart survive? Books in the four-part epic fantasy Ambria series 1.
