The first cries began at dawn. By nightfall, the great city of Saan was nothing but ash and silence.
The King's Army marches east, sworn to wipe out the mysterious Gray Cloaks, traitors accused of wielding a banished magic long dismissed as myth.
Magnus, a young officer more eager to return home than to march into enemy lands, begins to question the war with every burned village and every unsettling encounter. What truth lies beneath the King's banners, and what price is being paid to preserve them?
Elsewhere across Lavonshia, Aurelia knows nothing of war until the Gray Cloaks disrupt her village's Harvest Festival with a dire warning. Forced to flee the only home she has ever known, she must decide whether to trust strangers branded as enemies or watch her people fall to a rising darkness.
As soldiers march, villages burn, and loyalties are tested, other lives are drawn into the conflict. Each carries pieces of a truth long buried.
Ancient forces awaken. Prophecy stirs.
And somewhere in the chaos, the Storm Grazer must rise -
or the coming darkness will consume everything.
Storm Grazer Rising is the first book in The Lavonshia Chronicles, an epic fantasy series of forbidden magic, clashing truths, and intertwined destinies in a world that has forgotten them.

In the beginnings of a war against a group of mysterious, magical beings, a young woman learns of her own connection to
an ancient prophecy in Munger's fantasy series-starter.
In the Kingdom of Lavonshia's rural province of Dorak, 21-year-old Aurelia Talbot lives a quiet life with her father in a
village called Chelam. It's a peaceful place, unaffected by war or crime, but other parts of Lavonshia aren't as lucky.
Recently, the city of Saan was decimated, with the entire population disappearing. The accused perpetrators are members
of a mysterious nearby group of clans called Gray Cloaks, who have magical abilities and maintain peaceful relations with
Dorakians. A group of Gray Cloaks appear in Chelam and announce that the Ka-the king's army-is headed their way,
and that Aurelia's in danger-and she must leave Chelam with the Gray Cloaks immediately. Aurelia departs with a Gray
Cloak named Daphne, accompanied by best friend Eken and Col, the son of Chelam's most prominent family, who wishes
to marry Aurelia. Daphne reveals that Aurelia is at the center of a prophecy about a Storm Grazer: one who rides the
storm clouds and holds lightening in hand. Meanwhile, the Ka are seeking the missing people of Saan, killing any Gray
Cloaks they encounter. Ka soldier Magnus Alwyn is wracked with guilt after his unit massacres a Gray Cloak village, and
he isn't the only disillusioned soldier; later, Daphne saves him and his comrades from a pack of Shadow-Wolves. In this
fantasy novel, Munger presents a tale of friendship, loyalty, and betrayal. The author's love for the genre is palpable on
every page; the compelling tale is populated with intriguing characters throughout, and the worldbuilding is convincing and
sound. Readers are likely to enjoy the detailed and sometimes playful descriptions of the various players most of all; they
include NoNo, a catlike creature who possessed the peculiar ability to blend in with his surroundings, invisible to any who
glanced his way. With a whisk of his tail, he became a stray bolt of cloth tumbling along the street, or a mischief of mice
scurrying across a room.
An engaging tale of prophecy and magic with solid characters and mythology.
