Antorianic Tales

The Antorianic Tales feature a selection of spin-off stories from the Antoric World.

The following spin-offs are in the works:

- THE KING OF SLAVES, the first act in the Tale of the Three Kings. The story of the first grand-king, Gralon, who claims the Secret and flees the Hidden Valley's slaver empire, establishing the Kingdom of Silvon and, ultimately, the First Yanakhon Empire

- THE SON OF THUNDER, the second act in the Tale of the Three Kings. The story of the second grand-king, Salimerat (Salin), who dives Miloren, the original thunderblade from the Blackwater, bonds with a saginair, re-forming the Saginair Rangers, and fighting for the Second Yanakhon Empire

- THE LAST STAND, the last act of the Tale of the Three Kings, where Yalimerat, Salin's brother, joins hands with Occultist Stalwarts of the Ironfolks in order to claim the Secret and the thunderblade, gaining allies from the corrupt Yonians. The Temple Ark is hidden as the Second Yanakhon Empire falls.

HOW DO YOU START A WORLD WAR?

PUT THE WRONG YALI IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

Fifteen seasons have passed since the war, and tensions across the Blue Sea are rising once more. The Yonian States have renounced the Yambar Peace Treaty. In response, the Colonial Empire has massed its fleets at Yalipan.

Gilliat Yonatsi has finally served his lengthy prison sentence, but the world outside has changed. Flouncing into freedom like a celebrated kingpin, the Yali finds his name forgotten in the back alleys of Yonton City he once ruled.

Forced to seek honest work for the first time in his life, he crawls to his former runners: twins who now head the Andalarrath Corporation and rank among the richest men on Antoria. To his humiliation, they are delighted to employ him—and send him straight into the bilges of their gargantuan palace ship.

But the pleasure barge is on no ordinary voyage. It is sailing to make a clandestine purchase of Hellornian dragonpowder.

A plan starts brewing in Yonatsi's mind, but as things progress, he thinks less about what the powder might fetch on the black market, and more about how many favors he could return with it.

- THE RANGERS OF THE DRAGONLAND is an insert story from book 8, depicting the First Airmada mission to Hellornia to recover the stolen secret artifacts.

- THE LOST HEIR, a story from the POV of the Arkman (Hadriam Arkhaniel), the failed hero who were destined to unearth and bear the Legacy of Anthorm. This story features the events that led to the book one of the Thunder Dance series.

- THE DRAGONPRINCE OF HELLORNIA, the story of young Sparkoniz, who ends up with a dragon egg from a heist to Mount Dom Nuriaz, the nesting site of the fire-breathing dragons. He establishes a bond with a dragon, earning the trust of the rest, and builds the Hellornian Dragonrider Empire.
