About the book
Do not hesitate. Do not contemplate mercy. The Lorian Empire took everything from Dayne. His family. His home. His people. He will carve a bloody path through Epheria. He will have his vengeance, by blade and by blood. This is his story. The story of The Exile. Each part of The Exile is set at a different point in Dayne's life before his appearance in Of Darkness and Light, each exploring pivotal moments that crafted who he is. Dayne's exploits pre ODAL could take up an entire trilogy in and of themselves, but by making this a novella I am able to explore the truly big moments for him, providing you with some extra lore, without eating into the time of the main series.
