On the quiet island of Banton, Morganuke Beldere has always stood apart, silver-haired, red-eyed, and haunted by dreams he cannot explain. When a mysterious relic and a stranger's tale hint at a forgotten heritage, Morganuke leaves behind the only life he's known to search for the truth of who, or what, he truly is.
His journey draws him into a world unravelling: ancient powers are stirring, the warlike Cordinen tribes are sweeping the mainland, and strange forces beyond the sky whisper of long-buried technology. As Morganuke sails aboard the Aurora with a band of unlikely allies, he must confront not only the violent clash of empires but the deeper mystery of the Patronese, an enigmatic civilization said to hold the key to his past.
But destiny is never simple. As the world tilts toward chaos, Morganuke discovers that finding his roots may unlock powers he's not ready to wield, and awaken enemies he never imagined.
Searching for Morganuke's Roots is a tale of identity, sacrifice, and the first spark in a much greater fire. The fate of Pagalan begins here.
