Pevanese Mosaic

Five years of peace has Perspa united and prosperous under King Donari Avedun. But expanding horizons bring conflict with the aggressive Empire of Esda. Ships go missing, coastal villages suffer raids and burnings while arrogant Esdan embassies make ever more intractable demands and work surreptitiously to destabilize Donari's still-evolving realm. Coercion and treachery shadow Donari's every move.



Into this turmoil comes Grayce Stonesmith, a budding artist in flight from her past, looking for a way to connect her lines to a purpose; and Jeril Tandori, tutor and painter, a soul in search of a place to make a stand against forces that have had him on the run for half his life. Both of them must exorcise their demons in a city under threat from within and without. And they must rely on the care and concern of Devyn Ambrose as he works to unravel the effects of new stresses from old wounds.



All of them are vital tiles in the Pevanese Mosaic...
