Eight stories of terror and horror from Lovecraftian cosmic horror to creature features to a modern ghost story. These tales will spur the darkest recesses of the imagination. Put yourself in the shoes of a soldier from World War II, a single mother in her first home, a scoundrel turned prospector in the Old West or a Film Noir detective in the 1930s with a past that has torn holes in his psyche.

Assassins have been sent forth, an unthinkable kidnapping committed, one king is being manipulated while another is stabbed in the back. Caught in this game of intrigue and deception, a reunited band of Alliance members must uncover a sinister agenda or face becoming victims themselves. The dice have been cast, destinies intertwined and an ancient prophecy surfaces. But the deeper the band delves, the more questions remain. Can solving a mystery from the past be the key to events of the present? Will the arrival of a tormented stranger help their cause, or lead them down a dark and dangerous path? And perhaps the most important question of all: does any of it matters, or are their deaths as well as everyone they have ever known, already foretold in the threads? Enter the land of Draza and enjoy the first of this epic trilogy filled with adventure and magic, war and revenge. A tale BookIdeas writes they were "compelled to keep reading" and "is reminiscent... of David Eddings's The Belgariad." Be enveloped by the Tendrils of Darkness.
