Epic fantasy

A stone tower-loft with open shutters, one pale bird lifting into a grey dawn above a distant army; coiled thread, a brass ring, and a flight-glove in the foreground.

On the last morning before the war reaches his tower, an old loft-keeper takes the inventory of the birds he was bound to for life — and through them to one far hand across the front he has answered for forty years and never once seen.

Thaddeus Orrin — Stately, world-thick, mythic. Deep lore worn lightly; politics and prophecy braided through grand journeys. Archaic cadence balanced with vivid, grounded character.
