The God of Chaos is marching. The Borderlands is nearly overrun, shredded by his army. In a dusty village, ninety-four residents led by two soldiers make a last stand. During the assault, one of the enemy isolates Rhohn Lurus, a Dust Man. Yet rather than kill him, the monster gives him a cryptic message and begs he carry it east, claiming it could halt the war. At Storm Island, Nikalys, Kenders, and Jak are adjusting to their new lives as leader, mage, and soldier. In the nation's capital, nobles spar, some conspiring with the enemy while others ally together to halt Chaos' advance. New friends will be made, old rivals rediscovered, and secrets revealed. The stage is set. War is here. And the Progeny must stop it. "R.T. teaches a master class in world-building with Progeny. Rich in characters and details, he pulls you through a breathtaking tale that surpasses good versus evil." " Jean Rabe, USA Today bestselling author" "R.T. Kaelin is one of those few new authors who understand both the importance of immersing the reader in the story and how to accomplish it. From the first word, he grabs you and holds you captive throughout." " Maxwell Alexander Drake, Author of Genesis of Oblivion Saga" "Overall, I would favorably compare his writing with Brandon Sanderson, Scott Lynch, (early) Robert Jordan and even a bit of David Eddings flavor mixed in." " LuxuryReading.com" "A refreshingly beautiful coming-of-age story of courage, hope, and young love; something the fantasy genre has lacked in recent years." " T.L. Gray, Author of The Arcainian series" "R.T. Kaelin has done it again. Beautifully rich characters combine with an entrancing plot in a compelling dance certain to allure current and new fans of the White Lion series." " Mandy O'Brien, Living Peacefully with Chidren"
