The Borderkind

Creatures of legend have shared the human world for centuries, some beautiful and some terrible, all living in a realm just past the Veil. Now they face a campaign of destruction by hunters whose strength far exceeds their own, and their stories may not survive it.

Oliver Bascombe is a lawyer from New England who once dreamed of acting on stage. He still aches for the ordinary woman he was supposed to marry, and he is frantic to free his sister, who has been seized and held captive. He has no talent for heroics, yet he finds himself holding an enchanted sword and travelling with a woman who can take the shape of a fox and a man formed entirely of ice.

His journey takes him through the Borderkind's world and the lands beyond it, where he fights pale giants and winged predators. Along the way he learns how fragile humanity's myths have become, what would follow if they vanished, and why he was singled out to protect them.
