The Taesian Chronicles
The Taesian Chronicles is the complete trilogy, containing all three books, plus a bonus short story not found anywhere else, The Orphan's Maker.
Book One: Ohlen’s Arrow
Vengeance drives him. Will honor save him?
A savage tribe of cru'gan brutally slaughtered his family, orphaning Ohlen when he was still a boy. Twenty years later a ferocious attack driven by a mysterious witch sends him on a perilous journey to rescue his best friend's child. His choice between vengeance and honor will determine not only his own fate, but the fate of those he loves.
Book Two: Ohlen’s Bane
There is no honor among brothers.
Ohlen receives an unexpected visit from a friend bringing portentous news of strange artifacts found in a remote northern cave. Joined by the affable shaman, Ahmahn, and the young warrior, Therran, they travel to the city of Eeron to warn Regent Merrick Stonehorn, Ohlen's old friend and mentor. They discover Merrick has his own problems as workers in the nearby iron mines have been found with their heads cut off.
Suspecting an invasion from the dvaken, a strange yet powerful race of human-like creatures, Merrick seeks help in the most unlikely of places. Can the city be saved?
Book Three: Paragon’s Call
The sunset of an old hero. The dawn of a new foe.
Paragon’s Call is the third and final book in The Taesian Chronicles trilogy. In this exciting and fast-paced conclusion, we pick up the story a year after the Battle of Eeron from book two, Ohlen’s Bane. Ohlen and his comrades, Therran and Ahmahn, discover the novaari, dangerous beasts that are half man, half animal. Ohlen is conscripted by Emperor Percy Saltos to lead a ragtag group of criminal misfits called Paragons, who are charged with seeking out these monsters and destroying them. But not everyone wants them to succeed.

About the author
Steven Scott Williamson
7 books4 followersLike many fantasy authors, I was introduced to the genre when I played my first game of Dungeons & Dragons. It was during a family camping trip in May, 1980, and as myself and two friends sat inside a travel trailer rolling dice and fighting orcs, the air outside became gritty and hard to breathe. It was permeated with the fine gray ash spewing out of Mt. St. Helens which was erupting just sixty miles to the north.
I live in western Oregon in the shadow of another active volcano, Mt. Hood.

Read this book!
The first book in the chronicle reminded me of an early Dragonlance novel, it was well planned out with interesting charactors, but with just enough rough edges, to make it interesting. In the second book the author fleshed out and expanded a great story, in which you can also see the writer develop his own unique voice. I started the third book and read it in one sitting...It was that good! Thank you Mr. Williamson for a wonderful adventure.
