In a peninsula splintered among feuding clans, power runs in blood — and magic answers to only a chosen few.Linnard is a highborn son raised behind castle walls: sheltered, soft, and wholly unready for the world sharpening its knives beyond them. When the fragile truce between the clans begins to fracture, he is thrown from the practice yard into the path of a widening war.Years on the march teach him the blade, the price of loyalty, and the weight of a name he never asked to carry. A fellowship of unlikely allies gathers around him — warriors, scouts, and a warlock the others only half trust — while across the valley the Obsidian fortress waits, and the clan that holds it has its own design on the peninsula's future. To keep the alliance from splintering, Linnard must become something harder than the boy who once feared the older children at his father's table.But every crown is heavier than it looks — and on the eve of battle, he is learning the oldest lesson of power: no one is your friend.The Winter Mage saga begins.

The blasted expanse of the Shadow Barrens has menaced the Kingdom of the Blue Rose for generations. Legends of its sinister residents and the fallen glories of long-lost Mount Oritaun have provoked both fear and wistful hope. Now, an envoy from that lost kingdom has made contact, and a history long forgotten by all but a few scholars has been brought to light. But the armies of Shadow loom over Mount Oritaun, and its lunar light may soon be extinguished forever.Tales from the Mount features nine short stories which visit the deadly Shadow Barrens, wicked fallen Austium, and the lunar glories of Mount Oritaun. These are the tales of a people lost, the shattered pieces of an ancient and proud civilization, and the sinister stain that has crept over those legacies in the generations since the Doom of Faenaria. Come explore some of the most tragic parts of the Blue Rose setting with us.Authors for this anthology include Natania Barron, Nerine Dorman, Georgina Kamsika, Rhiannon Louve, Michael Matheson, Tiffany Trent, Caias Ward, and Suzanne Willis.This anthology is tied to the Envoys to the Mount campaign book for Blue Rose: The Roleplaying Game of Romantic Fantasy from Green Ronin Publishing.
