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 is created by Brigid Martin, an eGlobal Creative Publishing author.

The Warriors' Bane

Selmas is pretty sure that he’s forgotten how to form complete sentences. “You… what?” 


Aisling closes her hand, and the fire goes out. “We—Jigen and I—never meant to get involved, really. Nutuk’s beliefs don’t allow for violence. Our God is of creation, not destruction, but we didn’t have any other choice. The Alyrisin destroyed our home, completely. We needed allies, and when Elyhandros offered his friendship, we accepted.” 


“The king of Mordyn,” Aisling says. “He’s the one who approached each of the clans, convinced them to band together to fight. And Jigen and I… well, we’re not… we weren’t ready to becomes leaders yet. We still aren’t. We were desperate.” 


“So you just volunteered to be a part of cult activities?”
