They called him Syn because of his heritage, but now he had to correct an actual sin to save the realm. Men willing to sacrifice everything for wealth and power. Gifted the shards that granted him magic and years of training under brutal instructors, it was time to correct the mistakes of others.
Follow his adventures as he finds a companion, visits kings, and travels the realm, freeing dragons. All hoping to reset the magical balance and saving it all. Bound to an Ancient Battle Raven, one of the few creatures that can challenge the might of dragons, they will face all comers. Dueling nobility, bandits, scheming gnomes, and the greatest threat of all. Business agreements with the Folk. There are also the dragons, driven mad by chains created with soul magic
This was something I'd considered writing into an up coming litrpg series, but it didn't feel right. When I started writing it on Royal Road, it was part of a writ-a-thon. I liked it enough to work on it between my other books. It's been bouncing around there for about a year now. During that time, I decided to approach it like the novels I read growing up. A complete story in one book, but open enough to have more adventures with. No cliffhangers or unfinished business. If Syn and Badb creep back into my mind, maybe there will be more. It's up to them..
