Once you've been bit by a drastworm, there's only one choice that matters. 'Die now' or 'die later'. Marya lives with her family on an isolated, peaceful farm in the land of Faya. Stories of heroes, magics, and grand cities are just that--stories. When Marya's eldest brother discovers that a lethal parasite has burrowed into his flesh, there's no hope of survival. The family must prepare to lose one of their own. A drastplague has swept into the land, infesting the entire forest. How many of Marya's family will die before the terror is passed? A murderous parasite, the impersonal killer. A wondrous magic, the only hope of a cure. A broken family, held together by one daughter's sheer will. Discover Marya's story in the debut novel from Patrick Ament, Somnas.

But when he and Gwenli are suddenly attacked by a mysterious man, Ellison learns that he is nothing like the heroes he daydreams of. A fateful decision. A shadowed figure.
