Michael J. Sullivan - Age Of Myth

Age of Myth, the first book in Michael J. Sullivan's Legends of the First Empire series, tells the story of how a single event shatters the power dynamic between humans and the magical beings they worship. The Fhrey, who are seen as gods and masters of magic, are believed to be immortal. However, everything changes when a human warrior named Raithe kills a Fhrey. This act reveals a crucial truth and sparks the beginning of a human rebellion. Raithe, reluctant to accept his destiny as the "God Killer," is forced to flee and eventually joins a small group of heroes. This group includes Persephone, a chieftain's widow who must lead her people, and Suri, a young seer with visions of impending doom for humanity. As chaos and division spread, these characters must unite their people against an enemy they once feared as gods. The book establishes the world's ancient history, setting the stage for an epic adventure filled with magic, betrayal, and heroism.
