The young warrior-sorceress Lyna sets her course on Brecon, one of the largest and richest cities of Tilia. There, she plans to visit the grand library and learn more about the Territories of Sij, a land where her ancestors once lived, a place she hopes to eventually call home.
But evil seems to follow Lyna wherever she goes, and one of the sinister bane cores looms near Brecon, sowing discord, twisting hearts, claiming lives. She’s the only one who can feel its presence. She’s the only one who can stop it.
Yet as she sets out to destroy the accursed object, she unwittingly befriends the family who harbors it—and who possibly created it. Quickly, it becomes clear that the misery wrought goes much deeper than Lyna could have imagined, making her doubt her own senses, her own judgment.
Time is running out and Lyna must decide: take the knowledge she discovered about her ancestors and run, or stay behind and attempt to eliminate the bane core, at the risk of destroying those she now calls friends.
Set in the World of Arvelas, this is the story of a young Garan and his relationship with the elusive Kasaril.
The first draft of this story was started and completed as part of the NaNoWriMo 2016 challenge. It was planned as the second in a series of short novels set in Tyronia, following Arth de Valdur as he uncovers secrets about the reality of his world. It follows the events of The Stranger of Ul Darak. As I continued working on Stranger, it became evident that the stories in the series needed to be longer (full-length novels), and thus, this project is now on hold, pending the completion of Stranger.
This story is a complement to The Stranger of Ul Darak, providing additional information about Altarus of Valdur.
The elf Saralda receive a strange invitation to the towers of Dar Al'Kalif, the center of the wizards organization known as the Synod of Magikas.

When she realizes that the artefacts are the results of sacrifices and a source of evil, she decides to hunt them down and destroy them. But as the noble quest starts to consume her, Lyna realizes she could lose everything, including her own sanity.
This is the third instalment in an open-ended dark fantasy series titled The Baneseeker Chronicles, set in the World of Arvelas.
