Lost Tales from Esowon

Uzoma, known throughout the land as the human's savior, the great and mighty, and the kishi killer, has been devastating the demons called "the kishi". After Yemi’s father becomes Uzoma’s latest casualty, Yemi realizes that he is all that is left of his kind. Set on avenging his father, he must begin a dark journey down a path he’s not ready for.

Following the loss of his family, Amana is determined to master the mystic arts and have his revenge. The only place he can learn to hone these abilities is with a group of pacifist mountain monks who rebuke the act of vengeance. If Amana is to achieve a power great enough to avenge his loved ones, he’ll have to embrace the philosophy of the Junga monks and keep his true intentions locked away.

She’s a princess. He’s a demon. Both are fighting for control. Princess Shanaki, second heir to the throne of Ya-Set, has journeyed to a foreign land to serve as a pawn in her father’s game. Ikenna, demonkin, has been betrayed by his own. When the demons make a target of the princess to claim what is rightfully theirs, Ikenna moves against her first. Caught between beast and man, how will Shanaki save herself from the dark?

Long ago, before the end of the gods, cursed crystal fragments lay hidden about the world. These objects were imbued with immeasurable power, yet to use one plagued the bearer with a heinous blight.

The reward for his heroism was stoneskin, which slowly consumes the body with stiff welts of rock. To all who know it - brewmasters and scholars alike - it’s a death sentence.
