I always like to explore new worlds when reading. That is the great appeal of the fantasy genre. In this story we are introduced to the world of Harren, a world ruled over by a race of beings called the Balauri. The Balauri have two factions, the outcasts, and the ones loyal to the queen.The story centers around two characters named Faulk and Weylin. They are both Balauri outcasts. Faulk recruits Weylin to lead his forces against the queen to overthrow them. Together they go on a trip across the sea, and have encounters with both pirates and a sea monster.Both Faulk and Weylin are interesting characters. They have more than one dimension to them and work well off each other. This is a rather short story and maybe could benefit from being a bit longer, but overall I would recommend giving this one a read if you are into Tolkeinesque worlds.
