Tales of the Northern Kingdoms volume 1

The Moren Empire is no more and the northern lands are a scatter of fiefs, small kingdoms and city-states. "Colors" White as snow, as Nerian's skin and pure heart. Black as ebony, as the Sorcerer King's clothes and soul. Red as blood, the blood of confrontations meant to happen. Yellow as honey, as Riander's eyes, as the golden crown restored to the rightful heir. Blue as the sky, the freedom, the bright future. A fairy tale revisited, a sweet m/m romance, a Silvery Earth novella. "Cinder Boy" Rohan, also known as Cinder Boy, has found a warm pond in the forest behind his late father's manor. And one day a handsome stranger disturbs his bath. Prince Kurtis is back after three years and tournaments are held in his honor. The Nameless Knight beats him but refuses to show his face. A fairy tale retold as sweet m/m romance on Silvery Earth. "Firebird" He doesn't have a name. Or better, he doesn't remember it. Until another human stumbles, wounded, into his life. Memories start come come back, of a life long lost. And maybe he has lived longer than what everybody thinks, including himself. A Silvery Earth novella. "The Path of Water" Hinrik survives the battle outside the walls of Moriana, battered and hurt. He drags himself to the River Ondan to put an end to his misery. But it's just the beginning of a new life of discoveries about himself and the world, a quest for his true calling in life. He is a half-blood and must learn what it means with the help of Bellinda the healer and Keneith the magic user. The warrior, the healer and the magic user are all outsiders or outcasts looking for a place to call home in a hostile world, away from the aggressively expanding Varian and Blackmore Kingdoms.
