Thorns of Chaos

"Cain crafts a vivid world ... rich with detail and myth-lore that traipses brightly through the darker themes ..." --BookLife Reviews Finn is no hero, chosen born, or noble. Despite escalating tensions from the Dayigan soldier's occupation of Feah lands, the happy-go-lucky twenty-five-year-old is content to spend his days fishing and flirting with the other men in his Celtic-like village. But everything changes the night of the Midyear's Eve festival, when the Dayigan commander catches Finn in the arms of another man. Suddenly, framed for murder, Finn must flee his village or face death. However, Finn isn't the Dayigans' only target. They believe all Feahs are wicked and intend to destroy them by any means necessary. The Feahs' one hope of stopping the reign of terror is to find a relic forged by dark faeries and able to control chaos magic--and claim it to protect themselves. With the fate of the Feah lands resting on his shoulders, Finn seeks out sorcerers who practice ancient, forbidden magic. Instead, he finds love with the handsome but fierce head of the sorcerers--and a power he never knew he could possess.
