The Wasting, a dangerous hereditary disease, has cursed the members of a small northern family for generations. After their mother fell to the disease, watching her brother die from the same affliction, Keyt decides it is finally time to take action, to find a cure and stop the Wasting once and for all. She is willing to follow any lead, any legend, any hope there is to be found in order to save her brother Malec from the inevitable.

Her search leads her to information about a mysterious water source called the lifespring, reportedly able to cure all ailments, both magical and natural. Nobody knows precisely where the lifespring is located, or if it even exists outside of the legends, but Keyt is determined to find it in time to save her brother.

From the glacial peaks of the Ram Mountains to an oasis in the middle of the searing Fusite Desert to a set of dangerous subterranean caves outside of Ruschlack, she searches high and low, collecting samples of any water she finds in the hope that one of them contains what she needs to save the last of her family.

About the Author

After life growing up in the beautifully rainy Pacific Northwest, Shanon L. Mayer tends to keep indoors, writing story after story, building vivid worlds on paper while her thoughts hold everything but images. She tends to look at everything in her world for inspiration - especially her collections of skulls, dragon statues, swords and knives, and pretty much anything that fits her eclectic, geeky-gothic lifestyle. When her busy life feels like too much, she can be found relaxing with a hot mug of tea and a documentary on anything from theoretical physics to deep ocean wildlife to the most famous heists the world has ever seen.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
