Age of the Infinite

Adventure is the lure of fools, and excitement glamour to the gullible…So Jekaran's uncle has warned him. But that doesn't stop him from leaping at the exhilarating chance to single-handedly rescue a beautiful woman from a gang of lecherous thieves. But the bored farm boy quickly finds that he is no match for the group of angry street thugs, and only escapes death by bonding a magical sword that grants him the strength and skill of a master swordsman. Unfortunately, a peasant wielding such magic is forbidden and punishable by death.

Kairah lies unconscious and upon the threshold of death, but her dire state has awakened her oracle heritage and she sees in vision a land stripped of all life. But is what she seeing the past, or the future? Ezra, having learned that his nephew, Jekaran, has bonded the sword of the Invincible Shadow, is forced to return to the Rikujo crime syndicate for help in rescuing Jek from the custody of the king, who plans to execute him in order to take the sword for himself. But can he convince some of the most dangerous brigands in Shaelar that he is still the ruthless and cunning Argentus?

There are only two paths. Suffering and sacrifice, or the end of all things. … Existence itself is at stake in this enthralling conclusion to the epic story begun in The Lure of Fools. Finally, fate has brought her players to The Fork of Destiny's Road… Aiested has fallen. Its citizens flee the barrage of green lightning striking down from black clouds that swirl around the capital's ruined Apeira well. The ground shakes and a withering wind blows across Shaelar sucking the life out of all it touches.
