The Wellspring Saga
A Glimpse Inside
Read the opening pages before you enter the fracture.
Book One
The Shattered Pact
The morning began as a lie.
Not a loud one. The sun rose correctly, touching Thornmere's thatched roofs with pale gold. The air smelled of woodsmoke and bread. A cart rattled somewhere below. Normal sounds, arriving in the right order.
Book Two
The Fracture of Worlds
The northern gate did not open so much as surrender.
The heavy, iron-banded doors, which had stood as a monument to Taminn's permanence for generations, groaned in a loud, tearing protest as Cael forced the inner hinges apart. Thorn's vines, driven into the rusted joints, curled and pulsed with unnatural force, urging the resistant metal to move. The sound was a desperate, screeching complaint that echoed off the high, crumbling stone archway above.

About the Author
A. Michael Wright
A. Michael Wright is a storyteller, designer, and habitual worldbuilder.
His work has always lived somewhere between structure and imagination: data systems by day, fantasy worlds by night, with plenty of cooking, winemaking, and side projects in between. He likes building things from the ground up, whether that means a website, a game, a recipe, a vineyard dream, or an entire mythology.
That instinct shapes his fiction: worlds with deep roots, broken systems, and characters forced to grow when everything around them begins to change.
The Shattered Pact is his debut epic fantasy novel.
