Son of the Storm (The Nameless Republic, 1)

"A vibrant tale of betrayal, intrigue, and revolution." --Anthony Ryan, author of The Pariah

From city streets where secrets are bartered for gold to forests teeming with fabled beasts, a sweeping epic of forgotten magic and violent conquests unfolds in this richly drawn fantasy inspired by the pre-colonial empires of West Africa.

IN THIS WORLD, THERE IS NO DESTINY BUT THE ONE YOU MAKE.

In the ancient city of Bassa, Danso is a clever scholar on the cusp of achieving greatness--except he doesnt want it. Instead, he prefers to chase forbidden stories about what lies outside the city walls. The Bassai elite claim there is nothing of interest. The citys immigrants are sworn to secrecy.

But when Danso stumbles across a warrior wielding magic that shouldnt exist, hes put on a collision course with Bassas darkest secrets. Drawn into the citys hidden history, he sets out on a journey beyond its borders. And the chaos left in the wake of his discovery threatens to destroy the empire.
