Tesania complete series Box set: Trannyth's Keep, Tiadath Mage
Tesania series, 2 book box set.Book 1: Tesania is the only survivor after her village is massacred by magically altered beasts. In the aftermath of the attack she senses her father's sword calling out to her, the hilt reforming to fit her small hand as she draws the blade from its sheath. With its magic tingling at her nerves, she embarks on a mission of revenge. Could her father's sword be the ancient weapon spoken of in the decaying parchments of the Tenule chronicles, imbued with magic and forged with blood? Can it possibly make the difference when she stands before the evil mage, Trannyth, and demands her vengeance on his beasts? Book 2: As fingers of mist claw their way across the land, withering crops and crumbling towns into piles of worthless stone, the King of Eldanal appears powerless to stop it. When reports of a mage casting potent spells from lands far beyond the king’s reach, Tesania must take up her father’s ancient sword and set forth across uncharted seas to infiltrate a society where she plainly does not belong. With Deavon and Kailyn at her side, she must track the mage to his lair deep within the Loden Mountains and call upon all of her guile if she is to have any hope of standing against the Tiadath Mage and his overwhelming magic.
