When a storm reveals a mysterious cave behind a waterfall, the young mystic’s apprentice and her wolf investigate. Inside, she discovers a secret place containing a pile of human bones and the young girl makes what could be a fatal mistake. 

In this Legends of the First Empire prequel, we witness the events that helped shape the woman who would one day become Suri the Mystic, the first Rhune Artist, and a hero to a generation.

Too short

I enjoy Michael’s books a lot and I seek them also because I love Tim’s narrations. I actually search for books that he narrates no matter who the authors are. But this book is too too short and tells nothing about Suri. It is definitely not worth one credit. Honestly, I feel cheated

Excellent Short Story!

This free short story was chilling and sinister, I couldn't stop listening. It's the perfect intro to Sullivan's larger world.

Very Pleased

This is a really great, well-rounded short-story. Short stories can be tricky because they always seem like they are either not well developed enough, or that they are too long to be considered a short story or novelette. The protagonist is fully realized and the performance (as always) was stellar. Wouldn't mind a follow up to this story!

Great Introduction

This short story is a great Introduction to Sullivan's writing and a a wonderful glimps in to the life of one of the most important characters from the series that follows.

I was able to read it after the first 4 books and enjoyed recognizing small hints from the over all story. My only complain is I wished it was even longer.
