The Red Sea
When Dante Galand was just a boy, his father Larsin sailed away to make his fortune. And never returned. Since then, Dante has become a great sorcerer. A ruler. A destroyer of kings. And he's just learned that his father is living on a forbidden island at the edge of the known world.
Where he's dying of a mysterious plague.
In the company of his friend, the swordsman Blays, Dante travels to the island. There, his magic can do nothing for his father. As Dante and Blays quest for a cure—beset by strange beasts, angry spirits, and violent coastal raiders known as the Tauren—Dante falls sick, too.
To save his father and himself, he'll have to rediscover the island's long-lost magic. But the hunt for its secrets leads Dante on a crash course with the Tauren—and island-wide civil war.
And as he's away, an old threat begins to move against his homeland.
Set in a USA Today-bestselling world, THE RED SEA is the first in a trilogy of warfare, sorcery, and friendship through the darkest times.

Edward W. Robertson
When Edward W. Robertson writes, he doesn't just build worlds—he watches them burn and rise again. From crumbling civilizations in his Breakers series to the epic, war-torn landscapes of The Cycle of Arawn and The Cycle of Galand, his work pulses with tension, grit, and the kind of moral complexity that keeps readers up long past midnight.
Robertson first emerged on the fantasy and science fiction scene with a quiet but deliberate presence. That presence soon erupted into a million books sold, a USA Today bestseller title, and accolades including Audie and Voice Arts Award nominations. But behind the numbers is a writer who has never shied away from asking the hard questions: What happens when the world ends? What does power cost? And can redemption survive in the aftermath?
The Cycle of Galand
The Cycle of Galand consists of ten books — considered a complete series. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
