It began the night the kingdom fell. Veltak's royal family is dead, its magicians reduced to ashes, and the sorcerer who did it now rules with an army of the undead and abominations forged from living stone.
Stric barely survives the massacre, only to be hurled by his dying Grandmaster twenty years into a ruined future, carrying one impossible task: find the infant prince smuggled out of the burning palace.
Guided by the impatient Talnar, a sarcastic book of ancient knowledge, Stric allies with Teela, a hardened survivor of Barok's twenty-year rule. Their search leads through elven sanctuaries, a forest that remembers everything, and a hidden wormhole that flings them into a modern world, where the lost king has been gaslit into believing Veltak was never real.
Finding him is only the beginning. To break Barok's rule, Stric must forge an alliance no one has attempted in eight centuries: humans, elves, werewolves, fairies, and vampyres, bound together through a single fragile conduit only he can carry, at a cost he doesn't yet understand.
If he fails, the Deathseed Crystal feeding Barok's necromancy will consume Veltak, and everyone Stric has come to call family, forever.
The Oracle's Bridge is Book One of The Bridges of Magic: an epic fantasy of found family, slow-burn romance, and hard, rule-driven magic, where multi-race alliances and portal-and-time twists collide in cinematic battles for a broken world.
The alliance he needs has never existed before. The cost of forging it might be everything he loves.
For readers of Jenn Lyons, James Islington, and Ryan Cahill.
