Rune That Binds | Jonathan D Goff
"When God made the world, he did it with a whisper. Thus it is with all great works, they are begun and finished in silence..." From the Book of Sumis Three thousand years ago the Virtues abandoned the world when mankind turned their backs on them to worship their fallen brother, Malasephus, who grants power to the ambitious, glory to the vain, and pleasure to the hedonist. Only a few scattered people cling to the old ways of the Sumis and rune magic. They ward their homes and villages with the sacred symbols that protect them from the dead who wander the night. When Jan's village of Sommerstone is destroyed and everyone he knows is murdered he sets out on a quest to avenge their deaths by joining the Tair, nomadic warriors who hunt the servants of Malasephus. What he doesn't know is the Virtues have returned, and they have chosen him to be the Whisper of God, and his quest for vengeance will change him in ways he can't imagine. www.sommerstone.com
