Ruined History (The Chronicles of Nerezia #6)
A downloadable novella
On preorder until September 9, 2025!
Fate and friendship brought Horace, Rumi, Keza, and Aliyah together in Rumi’s sentient self-propelling wagon. They seek the forest haunting Aliyah’s dream, hoping for answers about the elf’s past and unique abilities—but first, they need to traverse a world haunted by Fragments, dangerous shards that can possess travellers and react to Aliyah’s presence.
Aliyah is still reeling from revelations about themselves when the rest of their group, Wagon included, is captured by the Archivists. To rescue them, they must infiltrate the mysterious organization’s base—a place half ruined city, half magical wonder. A labyrinth to navigate, it forces Aliyah to seek the help of two unlikely allies: Fragment motes from past citizens.
To confront the Archivists is to uncover more of the inextricable truths between Aliyah and the Fragments—and with each, the fractures in the Wagon crew’s cohesion and Aliyah’s determination widen. Before they can travel onward, they must find the strength to bear the weight of their ruined history.
