Resistance: Chaos-Tol's Bane, Book 1 - Chaos - Tol's Bane, #1

For millennia, the world of Tol has known peace, but ancient fears resurface as the northern empire of Nordinium invades the fertile Southlands. Amidst this chaos, two orphans, Perrin and Bren, find themselves at the center of a conflict greater than they could imagine. Sent to the remote village of Hightop, they hold the key to the resistance against the invaders. Leading this fight is Martyn, a mysterious tinker with a dark past and an impossible mission: to liberate the Southlands from the brutal Brocken soldiers.
With a reputation for being in multiple places at once, Martyn must unite the fractured tribes under one banner. Unexpected allies, including Chelke, a skilled elf huntress, and the legendary wolf riders led by Devron and Varellon, join him in this quest. As Martyn navigates the occupied territories and battles treachery from northern mages, he uncovers a deeper, more dangerous threat. The fate of Tol hinges on the rise of seven ancient warriors, the unity of the Southlands prince and the Elven heir, and the discovery of the legendary sword, Light Bearer - Chaos Cleaver.
Will this fragile alliance be enough to stop the darkness from engulfing Tol? Or will ancient evil rise again, plunging the world into chaos?
