Sword's Edge Chronicles

 

Epic fantasy with a science fiction twist
portal
 

 

The portal has long closed—severing ties to the aliens who had brought them to this planet. But for the Teldheri people, the consequences of complacency have only just begun.
 
In a world where tradition reigns and progress is feared, Alcandhor stands as a beacon of hope. He preaches the importance of learning, of questioning old ways, and of embracing new ideas. However his message is met with fierce opposition, not only from the provincial lords who cling to their power and control but from some of his own clan as well.
 
As the Teldheri people struggle to find their place in this changing world, ancient places are rediscovered and long-lost artifacts are unearthed, revealing prophecies that could change everything. But with change comes uncertainty, and the fate of their world hangs in the balance. Will Alcandhor's vision for the future be embraced, or will it be crushed by those who fear it?
 
If you enjoy epic world-building and political intrigue, you'll love this thrilling series of a society on the brink of change.
