When the world was young, there were the Ancients: primordial beings who shaped the land and bore all life. From the most powerful Ancient came the Imperial Dynasty of Kai'loth, tasked by their creator to govern the realms of Tesseris. For countless generations they ruled justly and peacefully.
Then they defied Him.
Thousands of years after their Sundering, the empire's story is barely remembered as a legend. The lands of Tesseris are now united only by the Crux, a city-state whose corruption is publicly known and secretly reviled. Yet the Crux's rulers have their own problems. Pirates plague the Verdant Sea, unleashing terror and chaos in their wake. Meanwhile the ancient sands of the Barrens begin to stir, a sign of something far more ancient…and deadly…than any pirate.
Yet some see the chaos and corruption as a chance. Whispers spread of a lost heir to the old empire. A select few seek to help a young hopeful whose bloodline could alter the world, but others hope death, not destiny, will find the child first.
Children of the Dying Hearth is the first installment in The Annals of Tessian, an epic, high fantasy series set on the fictional world of Tesseris.
