Parem is a prequel short story for Amalgam, and as such is part of the Valaran Chronicles.
The story is about Parem and Rowena, the parents of Hobs - my main character in Amalgam, follow their flight from the ruins of Angel City, to their arrival at Redwood and the birth of Hobs. Witness the hardships of the journey, their joy, their rejection as the struggle to fit in.
This is the first of two short stories, whose purpose is to add some back story into the characters of Ren and Parem. I also introduce some characters who you will come to know as the Valaran Chronicles continue to unfold.

Short Novella that gives you some back ground on the series to come. You are given insight into a bonding ceremony overseen by Jonaton and the marking and travel of a couple, Rowena and Parem, leaving Angel City to the city where Jonaton is newly appointed council leader.
Just a little bit of insight to what may effect the future book in this series. Enjoyable, easy read. The flow was a little jumpy but a lot is covered in a very short story.
This copy of Parem, The Valaran Chronicles: Prequel Short story was given to me by Byron A Wells in exchange for an honest review.
