The First Binding (Tales of Tremaine #1)

by R.R. Virdi

Tales of Brahm and his grandeur had always inspired me, helped me wash away aches and pains. They held all the possibility of changing your world with but a binding and breath of your own. All it took was an effort of will, and you could reshape reality, your life. Be the hero. To be free of loneliness and lay claim to the powers of old tales. And from the stories, power paved the way to freedom.

Sometimes people don’t need a hand to climb out of weariness and despair. They need an ear. Occasionally, saying the right things. But mostly, many need to be heard more than they need to be talked to.

And fear knows all too well how to keep you stuck in a place that will be the slow death of you. It’s like a pit of quicksand. The frantic motions of thoughts, all promising some salvation or reason, will really be the death of you. Only in the stillness of the moment can you find the way out.
