Synopsis

In a world where humans have long worshipped the Fhrey, a seemingly immortal and magical race, the delicate balance of power is shattered by an unprecedented event: a god falls to a human blade. This single act, perpetrated by the reluctant hero Raithe, ignites an age-old conflict and forever changes the destiny of both races. As the Fhrey prepare for war, seeking vengeance for their fallen kin, humankind faces potential annihilation. Amidst this rising tension, a young seer named Suri grapples with ominous prophecies, and Persephone, a leader grieving personal tragedy, must rally her shattered people. 'Age of Myth' plunges readers into a gripping epic fantasy, the first in the 'Legends of the First Empire' series, exploring themes of prejudice, destiny, and the thin line between gods and mortals. It's a tale where magic and mythology collide, forcing heroes and ordinary folk alike to confront their preconceived notions and fight for survival in a world on the brink of profound transformation.
