The Storm's Own Son: Book One
Heir to mighty gifts of power. Chosen by no fate. Guided by no one. Bound by no destiny. As the world will soon learn.
Talaos is a tough young man in a vast, ages-old city. Orphaned in the teeth of a storm at sea, his origins lie in lands far to the north. A rising gangster on the rough streets he calls home, he lives by his blades. A trail of blood and broken hearts lies behind him and an unknown future ahead. Wondering what more life might have to offer, he feels the call of change.
When an immortal sorcerer sends acolytes to kill him, he discovers his true nature.
His roots are far older and deeper than he ever imagined. His choices will lead farther than he ever thought possible.
Anthony Gillis
The child of hippie adventurer parents, Anthony Gillis lived on his father's sailboat, an island off the coast of Costa Rica, a converted school bus, and a ramshackle house in Ft. Lauderdale with a leaky roof and a sand yard, before settling down to something resembling a normal childhood. Something in all that made him decide to enlist and serve in the United States Air Force, and then earn a bachelor's degree in history and an MBA. He has worked in accounting and finance since the early 1990s, though that may soon change as his writing takes off.
