The Raven Thief

Born of the wastelands, Spheris Arnadel, a young skilled thief, finds himself subject to a twist of fate when he steals a powerful relic and becomes a Bearer — humans gifted with powers from the Gods. As a punishment for his theft, he is cast into an otherworldly realm alongside other Bearers, where he faces off against monstrous beasts and powerful enemies. Yet, in his determination to return to the Continent and save his dying mother, Spheris is hell-bent on surviving the abyssal world. Even if it means giving his body to the Dark God whose powers he had stolen... even if it means losing all of his humanity.

• Good Friends

His answer was yes.

Even though he was reserved when he said it, even though he was his usual calm, collected self, Spheris was brimming with excitement and another strange emotion he refused to identify.

Friends? All his life he had never had someone he could actually call that name. A friend.

A person who had his back while he had theirs, a person he could talk to about his day and about his problems, a person who would fight for him, or travel all the way from Floating Rocks to Frozen Sands just to make sure he was alright.

Rather, it was Talon who had filled that void for him. The raven was a great companion and true friend, but in the end, it was only a bird.

Sitting next to her, Spheris felt a sense of warmth and ease. A feeling he usually felt whenever he was with his mother.

Was it the good in her that was emanating and pouring onto him? Was it her compassion and her gentle heart that was soothing his anger and aching soul?
