How Strange the Son (The Symphonic Masquerade, #0.5) - Emery Blaine

How Strange the Son is the explosive prequel novella of The Symphonic Masquerade series, a character-driven tale of magic, mystery, and mayhem set against a sci-fantasy backdrop. There are a few rules to follow when negotiating inter-realmal trade agreements at the Tarnin mines. The precursor to a tale both dark and dastardly, How Strange the Son sets the stage for a sweeping, epic adventure that delves into ancient secrets and the journey to finding one's place among the eternal symphony that breathes life into the vast, Great Starry Sea. Join Uruji Thasian-nee, his father Jourae, and his ward Seraeyu Thasian, the rebellious son of the ruling Thasian family, as they travel to the Dracon-controlled realm of Orin. Even a glittering empire has its faults, and these lines are about to crack wide open.
