The Rift and the Mage
Paralyzed. Imprisoned. A race against time to escape a death trap.
When Froga wakes, he has no idea where he is or what happened to him. However, he soon discovers he is a prisoner of the mages—the worst nightmare for an Ember Dwarf, who is hated by humans and elves alike.
As if being trapped by your enemies isn’t bad enough, Froga learns that he faces his own demise. Unless he can break free of what seems to be magical bonds, he will never find his way back to the woman he loves.
Love. In the ears of his fellow dwarves, love is a foreign word—a sign of weakness.
Yet, Froga feels it anyway. Only, should he escape and earn his freedom, his clan and even his beloved, will view him as an outcast and probably execute him, if they learn about his feelings.
As Froga’s memories return, each step closer to the truth brings him further away from what he thought he knew about himself.
The Rift and the Mage is a short story by two #1 bestselling fantasy authors.
Set in the world of Ylécium, with its ice-cold regions, furnace-hot desert, and monster-infested ocean, you’ll be immersed in a setting like no other.
