Unleashed: Book One of the Saga of Ruination

by Ramon Terrell

"Fast paced, packed with action and engaging dialogue, Unleashed was a book I thoroughly enjoyed." -- Brandon Sanderson, #1 New York Times bestselling author The Stormlight Archives. In the bone-chilling spring, spice trades are lucrative and exhausting, and Emiel Dharr wants nothing more than to come home to a hot meal with his beloved daughters. But when he returns to an empty home and a note detailing his daughters' kidnappings, the horror-stricken spicetrader will lose them forever unless he travels beside a mercenary and a mysterious magus to the imposing city of Altarra to free them.

Beside unfriendly companions, Emiel travels across lands darkening under the specter of war, and finds himself targeted by ruthless leaders scrambling for an advantage. Nothing will stop him from saving his daughters, but the road becomes ever-more dangerous as monsters unseen for generations suddenly appear. Facing death at every step of his journey, Emiel accidentally awakens a terrifying power inside him. Is this coincidence, or is something more sinister at play?

With a frightening inner power growing inside him, Emiel's time is limited. War lies ahead, predators dog his trail, and hideous monsters threaten his life. So be it. Emiel will destroy anything standing between himself and his daughters; even if it means embracing the very power he most fears.
