A BROTHER DOES NOT LIE.
An aging hero, all but forgotten by his countrymen... A lone Teller, bearing truth and darkness in equal measure... A rash young son of nobility, dreaming of adventure from high atop his tower wall. When a shadow uncoils over Aramon, each must rise to face his nightmares, or fall before the surging tide of apocalypse.
Award-winning machinima artist Ezra Ferguson returns to the world of epic narrative with a tale over twenty years in the making.
Return to Aramon is a sweeping heroic fantasy written in the tradition of the classic epics. Seeking that which is good, that which is true, and that which is beautiful, Return to Aramon: A New Moon explores the depths of love, loyalty, sacrifice, and courage among the heroes of a bygone age, faced with terrors too dark to imagine. With a deep reverence of language in all its beauty, Return to Aramon seeks to honor the foundations and pillars of high fantasy while speaking in the distinct voice of a generation who saw the end of an age.

From the back cover:
Voldigar left the past behind, to dream of field and family...
SORCERY WAS NO MORE, for The Brotherhood of Aramon destroyed it. The terror of the Red Cloak to those who worked in shadow and communed with demons was absolute, but within a decade, these deeds were only legend. The traditions of the Tellers and Chanters were no longer welcome among a decadent people, and their memory washed away as rain over the hinterlands. Heroes became teachers. Hunters became plowmen, and they traded their swords for books...
Voldigar left the past behind, to dream of field and family. Long delayed, he hung his cloak upon the hook a final time and left the Brotherhood to other men. Yet the ghosts of his past and the grip of his convictions will not let him dream in peace. When a sudden nightmare sweeps over the realm, the aging warrior is thrust again into the teeth of a demonic incursion that threatens his budding life and the suffering woman he loves.
Return to Aramon is a heroic fantasy in the tradition of the masterworks that created a genre. Join Voldigar and a host of legends old and new in a world-spanning epic that explores the deeper questions of courage and sacrifice, of truth and love, and of purpose and prophecy. Return to Aramon: A New Moon is the first installment in an age-old saga made new for those who seek a deeper fantasy.
