The Alyrisin have been gifted by the Gods; they are faster, stronger, and altogether more powerful than any of the other clans on the Crescent. This Battlelust makes them unable to feel pain, and they have used it to protect their homeland and the source of their power, the Bloodstone, for centuries.

But when madness begins to overtake the Warriors in their village, Selmas, the first in his family line to be rejected by the Bloodstone, is accused of stealing their precious gift and cursing his clan.

Selmas knows that he is innocent, but with all the clues pointing to him, he'll have to prove his innocence, and his worth. With the help of his cousin, the Chieftain's daughter, and some unexpected allies, Selmas must discover the truth behind what is happening to his people, and prepare to fight against those who wish to destroy Alyris—that is, if they don't destroy themselves first.

The Warriors' Bane

Byrin is right; somehow, they’ve bypassed all the normal roads and trails and ended up just outside of Iun, which is a bustling hub of people and commerce and animals. Selmas, Byrin, and Gwynfor have only just entered the city when they’re overwhelmed by the colors and sounds and smells of the open-air market that fills Iun’s streets. Everyone seems to be yelling at each other, and while it doesn’t sound particularly hostile, Selmas is still very on-edge as they make their way through the city.
