THIS EDITION OF CEPHRAEL'S HAND IS NO LONGER RECOMMENDED BY THE AUTHOR. The author recommends instead the revised and updated edition of Cephrael's Hand, which has new maps and additional content, published by Five Strands Publishing in December 2014. It is also available on Amazon. "All things are composed of patterns..." And within the pattern of the realm of Alorin, three strands must cross: In Alorin... three hundred years after the genocidal Adept Wars, the realm is dying, and the blessed Adept race dies with it. One man holds the secret to reverting this decline: Bjorn van Gelderan, a dangerous and enigmatic man whose shocking betrayal three centuries past earned him a traitor's brand. It is the Adept Vestal Raine D'Lacourte's mission to learn what Bjorn knows in the hope of salvaging his race.
