The Call of Dust

The Arat, a young girl who is thought to be a minor talent, is discovered to be a seer-mage. With less than a handful being born throughout the ages, seer-mages are prized more than gold, for they possess the power to make kingdoms into empires. Her abilities, while now too great to hide, are not yet mature. She is vulnerable. Drawing the attention of even the Ancients, the Arat and her sworn protector Khiron flee for safety. Before leaving, she gives her first warning with political consequences. The Ulaan, known throughout Gaia as undefeatable swordsmen, are coming to conquer her home, the kingdom of Ceidon. Only with help will Ceidon have a chance to survive. Even with help, defeat may not be preventable. In the process, a kingdom thought lost to history emerges from the shadows. Pursued by swordsmen, assassins, mages, and things unseen, will the Arat survive? The future of Gaia and the Unified Dimensions may depend on if she does.
