Talon: The Windwalker Archive: Book 1 (Legends of Agora) (The Windwalker Archive series)

They call him Plague-born.On the unforgiving island of Volnoss, strength is everything. Only the tallest and fiercest become Vald. Those who fail the Measure become Skomm—slaves, outcasts, survivors.But Talon never measured up. Raised by his grandmother, scorned by his father, he’s dismissed as weak, small, unremarkable.

All that changes when the Night of Dying looms and Chiefson Fylkin vows Talon’s death.Banished to the village of misfits, Talon finds unlikely friends—and a spark of hope. But darkness stirs. The Kelda Agaeti approaches.

Tribal rivalries, corrupt overseers, and savage rituals threaten to consume them.Now Talon must fight to escape, survive, and reclaim a place he was never meant to have. Only then might he prove legends right: that many names can be cursed… but one name will become Talon Windwalker.Dark, fierce, and charged with magic, Talon is a coming-of-age epic of power, exile, and reclamation.
