Year 586 of the Forsaken Aetas
Month of Nighharvest
Teredon, the Last Home of Man

The Destiny of Thom Havenkin will reach across worlds. Here, learn how that story truly begins.Everyone's childhood ends, but not everyone's ends in horror and whispering flame.

Thom Havenkin is an orphan and his days are filled with stories and lessons, while his nights are laced with twilight adventures and daring deeds. It's a wonderful, idyllic life, but it's a life he doesn't even know to cherish.

Until one fateful night that changes every night thereafter. The night of the Haven's fire, the night Thom's life burnt to the ground.

In this short prequel, fans of the award nominated "On the Matter of the Red Hand" will learn more about the dire moment where the whispers of darkness and sorcery first touched Thom's life. They will be introduced to new faces of Teredon, faces who will have long shadows in the coming darkness that haunts the city.

This one night will change Thom's choices for a lifetime. Because of this night, the fate of Teredon rests in the balance. Yet this short story is about far more than sorcery or the haunting darkness. It is a story about questions, and about the paths one takes.

This is a story about becoming a hero.
