Rise of the Ranger (The Echoes Saga, #1)

by Philip C. Quaintrell

As the Gods recast their fortune and power, one will suffer the burden of destiny for all.

Everywhere humans went, they twisted the world to fit around them, forcing the land to pay tribute to their superiority.

No longer did they spend hours singing to the trees or writing poetry and creating magnificent works of art. The war had made them brutal and harsh. They had examined their own immortality and recognized their superiority over the world.

It shocked him to find that he didn’t fear death, but instead feared the unremarkable life he left behind him. With no children to take pride in and no great love to mourn him, the ranger would leave nothing but a trail of bodies to speak for his life.

“Magic is a part of this world, like fire and ice. It’s woven into the fabric of our reality.”
