The Eye of Nissi'I: Book One of the Legion of the High Bloods

When Gallian of Orsanyiu, a Chaatiu Ranger from Hazsolask, returns home to discover his wife and children missing, he suspects slavers are involved: Black Scions, one of the deadliest legions from Torsk. He is visited by a mysterious mercenary, a former Black Scion, who offers to lead the rangers in finding the slavers’ camp. Gallian accepts and organizes a posse from his ranger corps in pursuit of the slavers’ caravan. Desperate to rescue his family, Gallian forms his own legion, the High Bloods, to confront one of the most ruthless warlords of Torsk, Brubat of Narzwar, a renegade high-priest of the Shakhahedrin. At the Temple of Lyrk, where Brubat is believed to hold the abductees from Hazsolask, the High Bloods become pawns in a deadly game of politics, sorcery, and diplomacy. Gallian’s fate leads him to resolving the mystery of an ancient artifact that opens the Eye of Nissi’I, a portal controlled by a demon who guards the secrets of a mathematical world … where nothing is impossible, and magic has replaced science.
