"Don't ask her about her past, she will tell you in time." Gandalf proclaimed, somehow reading my mind again. "It is dark and twisted, filled with regret, sorrow and death." When the immortal Zorina, a wandering warrior princess and Sorceress, joins Thorin Oakenshield's company to reclaim his homeland, she is thrown into a new world of adventure. She will have to face unimaginable terrors, including: duelling with an old enemy, making mortal friends, and worst of all, she will have to face her greatest fear: her past and heritage. Will she be accepted by the Company after they learn of her dark secrets? Or will they turn her away from her last hope? And will she find love? Or an early grave? And will she be able to find a new reason to live? A Tale of Swords and Dragons: The Journey Begins is the first instalment of the 'Swords and Dragons' series. Let the journey begin!
