Harbinger, A Gearspire Story
by Jeremiah Reinmiller
For five years, Ryle has trained hard to earn his swordmark and escape the bloody stain of his past. Now, a week away from graduating, he faces an uncertain future full of deception and betrayal. The House he sought to join has vanished, a conniving politician is trying to buy his contract, and the love of his life will slip through his fingers if he can't make a name for himself. Amid this chaos, Ryle receives a call for help from a close friend. His mission to help them will change everything and set him on a path toward a new fate that is more redemptive and dangerous than he ever imagined.
