Good intentions lead to dark places….

Epic fantasy novel Born of Water hints at Ty’s first visits to the illicit port city of Sardinia without providing many details. Though, it does delve into the event that spurred him to abandon his post on a merchant ship.

Escaping from manipulation and the threat of abuse during his apprenticeship, Ty washes up on the shores of Portoreayl and almost immediately falls in with a questionable savior, Via. Via doesn’t care that Ty abandoned his apprenticeship and provides him with food and refuge. With few options other than finding a way home to face his disappointed family, Ty begins a new life, one with dark depths that drags Ty in with slow ruthlessness.

What pulls him out can be found in the Born of Water Novel Companion, but how he became entangled in a life so far from what his upbringing determined for him is found here…
