Product Description
Rafen and Mireza Virellis have built a quiet life for their children—until the High King’s Justice storms their doorstep. Forced to flee through haunted forests, hidden river tunnels, and sky-borne decks, they must protect Elira’s burgeoning storm-calling gift, Timos’s fierce curiosity, and a secret that could ignite a criminal empire. Meanwhile, Dravien—the long-absent uncle with a shadowed past—joins the hunt for vengeance, guided by a dying mentor’s final command: restore the Magpie’s legacy or die trying.
Taut with betrayal, elemental magic, and daring escapes, The Silver Blade and the Magpie’s Blood is an epic short novel that weaves courtroom drama, skyship adventure, and family bonds into an unforgettable saga.
