Ashes of Alour-Tan

Finton saw the destruction of his village, watched the murder of his loved ones, and felt the cold embrace of death itself--heralding the beginning of a new life far more bizarre than he could have imagined.

Revived by the mysterious Work of Alour-Tan, Finton finds himself carrying knowledge of immense value in an unfamiliar world that regards him as an abominable creature of evil. As he comes to grips with his situation, he befriends a cannon-wielding elf scout and a philosophical ogre linguist on a journey to the mythical dragon city of Olkelban, where a centuries-old feud threatens to escalate into open warfare and plunge the entire region into chaos.
