Races: The Ogian

Dwelling in the cool highlands and hills of the land of Parun, the Ogian are a race steeped with history and kinship. The Ogian appear as men and women with strong ram-like features: curled horns and short, full pelts of fur covering the majority of their bodies. They have cloven hooves and muscular legs, partly due to their love of running; either for the hunt, sport or for the simple sake of the activity itself. They are a sure footed race, winding along steep climbs that would make the most knowledgeable mountain climber think twice.

Monsters: The Phoenix

These beautiful, intelligent birds are often seen on the wing flying high through the skies. The Phoenix is about 15' long from beak to tail feather with a wingspan of more than 30'. Its beak is a deep bronze, which matches its eyes, while its feathers range in colors of bright scarlet to brilliant orange or yellow to crowns of gold and platinum along the tips of its feathers. There is a luster about the feathers that make them gleam in sunlight, giving the appearance that the bird is actually ablaze while it flies.

Matters of Life and Death, Dragonfyre Chapter 1

Well, here it is at last, the first chapter of the third installment of the Canticles of Andurun, and the conclusion to the first story arc for the series: Dragonfyre. I will be posting chapters 1 through 3 over the next month or two and continue to work steadily on revising book three so it will be ready on Createspace come the beginning of the year, as well as Kindle.

If you have not read, or finished reading, Dragonsong (book 1) and Dragonmarch (book 2) I would not continue! This chapter is a major spoiler, and it will ruin a great deal from the first two books if you read this before catching up on what's going on in Andurun! So I can't be held accountable, here is a more appropriate warning:

Spoiler warning! Read on at your own risk!

Having said that, please feel free to indulge in Andurun's third installment, and I will be working on getting more chapters revised in a timely fashion. With Christmas approaching and my store in a mall location, however, I'm not sure what "timely" means just yet. Bear with me, dear readers. God bless. Yours in Christ, Ian T Curtis.
