THE COMPLETE LEGEND OF TAL SERIES Legend of Tal is an epic fantasy adventure in the vein of classic stories like The Lord of the Rings and The Dragonlance Chronicles, but with updated sensibilities like in the Witcher series. It follows the titular character Tal Harrenfel and his apprentice, Garin Dunford, as they take on an immortal sorcerer and attempt to free the world of tyranny. However, not all tales should be believed. Nevertheless, Tal must live up to his legend, and Garin discover his own power, if they’re to overcome the forces pitted against them. THE WORLD OF AOLAS Long ago, the land of Aolas was transformed by the three deities known as the Whispering Gods. In an attempt to save mortalkind from the Night, the enemy to all the world, these gods enacted the Severing, which separated the Origin people into multiple races, or "bloodlines," each adapted to their environments. Millennia later, a new dark god has arisen. Yuldor, Prince of Devils, reaches across Aolas into the Westreach. Through his servants, the fell sorcerers known as the Extinguished, he has worked to undermine the civilizations of humans, elves, dwarves, and goblins. The kingdoms are set to fall, unless one can ascend to challenge Yuldor. MEET TAL HARRENFEL Tal is a folk hero to the people of the Westreach, thanks to the songs of the bard Falcon Sunstring. Hunched around a campfire, people tell his tales: how he stole a magic ring from the goblin queen, and how he saved the elven city of Elendol from a towering fire devil, among many others. Yet behind the gilded legend lie darker stories, and names to go with them. Magebutcher. Red Reaver. Death's Hand. Stories are not always as they are told. And behind the legend lies a flawed man. But for all his shortcomings, greatness can be found in those who strive. Now, Tal seeks to write the next chapter in his legend — and, perhaps, its final one. MEET GARIN DUNFORD Garin has spent his entire life in the sleepy town of Hunt's Hollow, tending to his family's farm. Though his brothers and sister are content to follow in their parents' footsteps, Garin dreams of becoming like the folk heroes whose stories he's heard throughout his childhood. Heroes like Tal Harrenfel. He's always felt different from those around him. His sister put the feeling to words once: that Garin has a fire within him, one that will burn him up if he lets it. He yearns to see the world, and anything less will see him wither. When Garin sees his opportunity, he seizes upon it. But the journey is not what he anticipated, and it may very well cost him his very soul.
