Crystal Flute

by A.J. Kelly, K. Pearce (Illustrator)

The world of Feia holds many secrets, many that the humankind dwelling in its diverse lands do not know or comprehend. Its secrets workings go unheeded and unhindered throughout centuries, but ever and always they live two separate lives - the humans, and the powerful, mystifying beings of the metaphysical Ildarie . But as with all things, there are times when their affairs cross paths... Arrogant, self-assured and complacent, Andelus Lendomis was the epitome of nobility - except for the fact that he most certainly wasn't a noble. Brought up a pirate, by his seventeenth year Andel had grown to be an example of everything a human lad should not be, especially in the critical eyes of the Ildarie . Having grown long accustomed to his way of life, the blissfully ignorant boy was oblivious to the fact that his life was soon to be changed forever... Elsewhere in the world, the great Drannian Empire is in a state of unease. A mysterious figure haunts their lands seeking the Kelkr Salmis , an ancient ildarie relic said to have the power to control the metaphysical beings themselves. Putting aside his better judgment to gamble his life against the enigmatic Drannian, Andel's plans turn to those of revenge - but he too is at risk of being drawn into a spell of intrigue that has fallen over the east like a haze, one that may leave him questioning his very life and all that he once took for granted. But somewhere on Feia, the Dark side of the Ildarie stirs...
