The Quest of the Remnant
Part 1
Kofi has never been more than a blacksmith's apprentice in the village of Nakarra. But the sparks from his forge don't behave the way sparks should. They bend. They linger. They answer him.
Something ancient is waking in him, and it has drawn the attention of robed figures in the forest who deface old shrines and move with the patience of people who have been afraid for a very long time.
