The Fall of Calador
A Young Adult fantasy novel
It is the year 754 of the Second Epoch in the realm of Cyspera. The country of Winham is under attack by gaulgrons, an exiled species which everyone had thought to be extinct—until now. An overwhelming force of these gaulgrons is back, intent on wreaking revenge upon those who exiled them. The rest of the country has crumbled before the might of these vicious creatures, and only the ancient city of Calador remains standing. The gaulgrons are bearing down on this last place of defense, leaving its residents with little hope of victory or escape.
But then Calador's Council receives word that there are a few survivors at the coast, readying to sail away from Winham in hopes of building new lives for themselves elsewhere, out of the gaulgrons' reach. And they still have room for more survivors, if any can make it to the coast in time.
A desperate group sets out from Calador, their only protection being an inexperienced member of the elite Council Guard: a teenager named Ravenna Brightlock. Tasked with getting her people to safety, Ravenna must step forward in a world that is falling apart around her and lead her group to the coast as quickly as possible. However, this means traversing the infamous wasteland known as the Windmere: an often-flooded landscape that now holds only the ruins of beached ships and deserted ghost towns, all of which offer plenty of places for danger to hide.
Dealing with survivor's guilt and grief over loved ones left behind, Ravenna and the others must brave perils including ice-breathing deragors, unpredictable sinkholes, and deadly Mereworms, as well as deception from within their own group. And all the while, blood-thirsty gaulgrons are closing in from behind.
