"Denying death is denying life itself. To live is to accept that our time will end."
— Therru
Storyline & Worldbuilding
Inspired by Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea cycle, dragons unexpectedly clash over agrarian farmlands as crops wither. Prince Arren, fleeing his own inner shadow, is rescued by Archmage Ged (Sparrowhawk). In the slave town of Hort Town, they encounter Therru, discovering that life's true value comes from accepting mortality.
