Novel

Danth Jorran is a child of prophecy, and ward of the Monk of the Order of Letters, Fiff Ora. Ora taught her everything he knew; gambling, fighting, and swearing like a sailor, primarily because he had no idea what else to do with her. And then the prophecy from the Nameless Goddess came, directly to Ora himself, just like the Goddess had bestowed Danth upon him. This prophecy spoke of the Serpent Cult's fictitious god, the foul dragon Aberlrallick, and the cursed book that would allow him to control dragon-kind and destroy humans for good. It's up to Danth to stop Aberlrallick before it's too late.
