Spacious Skies, Amber Waves A High Fantasy Western

A band of adventuring young hopefuls strikes out into the wild--and straight into peril--in the thrilling second installment of this fantasy western series. The Empire of Tiraas has spent ages casting off its sword-and-sorcery shackles in favor of high finance, practical magic, and keeping those with power in power. Everything is malleable in the name of progress. And those that cannot be bent can easily be broken--quite painfully if necessary. But far away on the frontier, anything goes. And the University has not ceased instructing would-be adventurers on the finer points of unlocking their potential as elves, warriors, paladins, pirates, half-demons, and anything else the empire considers a threat. Now, the latest batch of brash, brawling freshmen are venturing outside the classroom on a trek to the Golden Sea for a lesson in reality. A seriously harsh lesson, to be precise.
