The Storm

THE BEGINNING OF THE END
 
For centuries, the province of Dulgath has enjoyed inexplicably perfect weather. Few know the reason: a benevolent guardian spirit who moderates the climate and heals the sick and injured. But three extraordinary events on a single day signals a change in the air. First comes an unprecedented storm. Then an unexpected visit from the Nyphron Church. And finally, a suspicious shipwreck with a lone survivor. War will rage across all of Elan, and Dulgath will be the site of its first skirmish. Enter The Storm, the opening tale of the Elan Saga's grand finale, a conclusion twenty years in the making.

The Cycle is the sixth and final series based in Elan. The first novel is slated for release in 2028, but we are pre-releasing the first of several short stories through this standalone edition.

NOTE: While this story can be read as a standalone tale, there are references to prior events that would be considered spoilers for those who haven't read The Death of Dulgath (Book #3 of the Riyria Chronicles) as well as the Legends of the First Empire series. So if you want to experience the entire saga, do not read this story until you finish those prerequisites.
