A Myth in Eight Parts

Author didn't leave one.

An aging assassin tutors the Prince of an upstart nation in politics and in death, without the knowledge of its weak Emperor. An orphan, lost in despair, finds himself an unwitting tool of predestination as his unusual gift for magic brings him to the attention of the world at large.

Calen, the prodigious bardic-mage of Corariel, walks a dangerous road. Possessed of unruly storm magic, he has only ever known the will of those who would spin his powers for personal gain. Galdrian, a would-be knight, never wanted to be a mage. Surprised by the signs of divination magic within him, he suddenly finds himself at odds with even his own family's traditional beliefs. When the two young men find themselves thrust into each other’s company, they are left with little choice but to face their fears together. For the shadows that grip the region threaten more than just their own precarious paths, but the lives of everyone around them.

While digging through some boxes of Christmas stuff, I found this old poem that I wrote for my grandmother many years ago.

A ex-gang member who hides behind a gas mask

An escaped prisoner with a taste for blood

A kind delinquent from hell

A stray child who holds a wicked blade

A delusional wanderer with strange motives

RTVXS is one of the newest gangs to rise in the wasted city of Algor, one of the last sanctuaries still standing after The End. Formed by a teen named Rayden, five individuals band together with the hope of bringing order to the crime infested dump. But some kids prefer the dark, and it seems there is more to the city than the corpses littering the streets can tell.
