A thief who walks on wind. A princess who digs up dead gods. A kingdom built on ruins that were never meant to be found.
The wind has always answered Aren Thalos. Until the night it doesn't.
Aren is a thief, a relic-hunter, and one of the few who can walk the unseen currents of the air. When the wind draws him to a noble's fortress, he finds ancient artifacts pulsing with impossible power—and steals one. Then the wind falters.
Across the kingdom, Princess Nyra has spent years excavating ruins others dismiss as dead stone and forgotten myth. But when her newest dig uncovers a chamber older than the kingdom itself, Nyra realizes the stories of the daimarch—mortals who once wielded the power of gods—may not be stories at all.
Something ancient is waking beneath Varethos. Villages are attacked. The wind is wounded. A dangerous northern scholar is searching the ruins for secrets that should have stayed buried. And when Aren and Nyra's paths collide, thief and princess discover they are chasing the same truth from opposite sides of a conspiracy.
The gods left power behind. Someone is trying to forge it again. And if Aren cannot learn to listen to a wind that is dying, the ruin buried beneath the kingdom will rise once more.
Wind and Ruin begins The Godforged Cycle—an epic fantasy series filled with ancient relics, lost magic, dangerous ruins, elemental power, and unlikely heroes caught in the shadow of forgotten gods.
