Birth of Legends: the Nathmaria Chronicles Book One Shaun K. Thornhill

Since the fall of Utatam, magic and mind have become inextricably linked in Nathmaria, for better and for worse. Discover what The Chronicler has foreseen as dark forces plan to send the world into catastrophe, again.

Birth of Legends: The Nathmaria Chronicles Book One is the debut novel by Shaun K. Thornhill that charts the blood-pumping adventure of four unlikely heroes who must work together to vanquish those who may just be their undoing. A fantasy with a steampunk flair, it follows four individuals, who each has broken from his past to forge a new future. Mordic Almsford, a half elph of lesser royal lineage, cast off his birthright to pursue fame and fortune through neuromancy. The half elph Kale Barrington stole away from his past to try his hand at high class thievery. Mattatias of Contained Tiger seeks peace from his tragic early life. Kalamar Throx wants only to forget his profound failure.

As The Chronicler warns the people of the schemes of evil people, the four newfound allies must galvanize their distinct talents before sheer chaos is loosed upon their world by thwarting the power of necromancy and undermining national structure.

But who is Simon and how do his plans affect the others? Will he ally with Nigel or defeat the four heroes? Or both?
