Secrets of Urthis: Forged in Iron and Fury
About this ebook
Samuel IRWIN Miner grew up on a lonely mountain top, his small and ordinary life ruled by his father and grandfather. Over the years they mistreat the boy who has special talents and certain feminine ways. Now the nineteen-year-old has seen his father do the unspeakable, and now he has been left bloodied and alone to die deep in the forest by that same man. Irwin pulls himself out of the mud and escapes, but from that day on he will never be the same.
Irwin sets off to explore the planet of Urthis where he slowly realizes his Ferro-kinetic powers help him do more than mint coins, they heal him from death knells and keep those around him grounded. He must learn to survive the wrath of frightening specters that live in the shadows and darkness, avoid creatures who harness the elements, and fight beings who can shapeshift into anything. Only after meeting a beautiful Telepath and a ruggedly handsome shapeshifter does Irwin begin to uncover the secrets of Urthis.
Join The Metalist’s Journey and follow Irwin as he navigates the ruthless world of Urthis—a place where Telepaths rule over all; where shapeshifters can lurk in the shadows or trail you from the air; element yielding people can steal your breath or turn you into ash—a world that Irwin’s people are not native to. But he keeps a secret, a power so unique that could change Urthis forever, and if he were to be found out—if someone with evil intentions were to get their hands on him—the fate of the world could be at stake.
