Storm Grazer Rising by Eric Munger

Storm Grazer Rising is an epic fantasy novel by Eric Munger, launching The Chronicles of Lavonshia, a sweeping saga set in a world where forgotten magic stirs, kingdoms fracture under war, and destinies long buried begin to awaken.

The first cries began at dawn. By nightfall, the great city of Saan was nothing but ash and silence.

The King’s Army marches east, sworn to wipe out the mysterious Gray Cloaks—traitors accused of wielding a banished, long-forgotten magic.

Magnus, a young officer more eager to return home than march into enemy lands, finds himself questioning the war with every burned village and every unsettling encounter. What truth lies beneath the King's banners?

Far to the south, Aurelia knows nothing of conflict until Gray Cloaks disrupt her village’s Harvest Festival with a dire warning. She is forced to flee the only home she’s ever known to save her people from a rising darkness.

As battle lines burn across Lavonshia, ancient forces awaken. Prophecy stirs.
And somewhere in the chaos, the Storm Grazer must rise, or the coming darkness will consume everything.
