Virdi Short Story

Submit your receipt for The First Binding by 8.15.22 to receive an bonus short story from the world of the Tales of Tremaine, The Path to Kahinae!

All legends are born of truths. And just as much lies. These are mine. Judge me for what you will. But you will hear my story first.

The first book in this fast-paced, worldbuilding series, The First Binding, tells the story of Ari, an immortal wizard hiding as a storyteller. Ari’s buried villages, killed gods, stolen magic, and knows he is a monster for it. On the run and seeking obscurity in a remote tavern, he and his companion, a singer, soon find their pasts aren’t forgotten, and neither are their enemies. No one can escape their past.

Based on the author’s South Asian heritage and inspired by the many culturally divergent stops along a fantastical Silk Road, Tales of Tremaine is not your typical medieval European fantasy.

"Crafted with patience, passion, and most importantly, tremendous love. Read R.R. Virdi!" —Jim Butcher, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Dresden Files

Entrants will receive The Path to Kahinae within one week after the closing of the entrance period.
