Trails of Bone

Magic. Action. Intrigue. All converge along the Trails of Bone.

The kingdom of Rimbaku has fallen on hard times. Under attack by its neighbors, the once-great empire struggles to defend itself even as it stagnates, its people obsessed with aitachi, the Relicant Touch, and the skills and memories that magic lets them absorb from the bones of their dead.

Amid all this chaos an emperor learns about his subjects firsthand, a warrior battles both foes and ancient tradition, a young man tests recently acquired prowess while another learns to rely on himself, a seasoned captain fights to defend the throne, a young graverobber struggles to overcome new scruples even as a different young woman with no scruples begins to amass power, a strange pair wreak havoc, and a mysterious new threat approaches the capital.

What will happen when all these trails cross at last? Will any of them survive? Will the Relicant Empire?
