Path of Glory (Boundary's Fall)

The Boundary.

The greatest feat of magic in the history of Madryn. An impenetrable barrier, raised to imprison the Darklord Lorthas, bringing an end to the long and bloody MageWar.

Nearly a millennium has passed since the Boundary's creation, and its power is fading. The four Races struggle amongst themselves; their once-proud alliance is little more than a distant memory. Old enemies have resurfaced and new ones lurk in the shadows, eager to use the chaos to their advantage.

The truth is known by only two: Jeran, an orphan, raised by his uncle on a farm near the Boundary; and Dahr, an outcast, hiding from his past. Together, they must take news of the Boundary's fall to the King of Alrendria. Haunted with knowledge of the Darklord's weakening prison and pursued by Tylor Durange, exiled Prince of Ra Tachan, the boys race across Madryn, facing danger at every turn.

And yet their greatest threat may come, not from the Darklord, but from the secrets they try so hard to keep from themselves.

Bret M. Funk was born on September 11, 1976 in Ocean County, New Jersey. He spent his formative years a little further south, in the small town of Barnsboro, where he attended Clearview Regional High School and did his best to alleviate the boredom of life in suburban America.

At a young age, Funk developed a great love of reading, science fiction and fantasy in particular. He spent many afternoons engrossed in the universes of great writers, and many more in worlds of his own creation. In 1994, Funk relocated to New Orleans, LA to attend Tulane University. After earning degrees in both Biochemistry and Epidemiology, Funk turned his sights on writing. He is the author of numerous short stories and articles, and has shifted his focus toward novel-length fiction with Path of Glory, the first book in his high fantasy epic, Boundary's Fall.
