Sun and Shards [kobolds, tiny people, & cute furry animals defy giant humans in epic progression
SUMMARY
In a perilous world lorded over by giants—both human and beast—the miniature Shykind have managed to carve out their lives in the sun and shadows, thanks to their unique survival skills, arcane knowledge, and hidden settlements. Sylven, a headstrong Shy eager to prove himself, embarks on a daring rite to grab an egg from the fearsome kobolds five times his size. Disgruntled kobold Vikka is desperate to ditch her unwanted egg and the suffocating social order of her nest. A misunderstanding magically binds her and the tiny would-be egg thief.
The unlikely team must navigate the frontiers of their homelands, where they are captured by true monsters—human beings who use their imposing size to subjugate and exploit the smaller races for magic, labor, and wealth. Their survival and escape will depend on trust, cunning, and unexpected alliances. The humans' pursuit of mysterious shards that facilitate arcane energy and progression have them racing against the Shykind elite in unlocking deeply-held secrets.
