Heir to Insanity

Jasper's only friend, Ethan, is dying. Jasper is a gremlin with enough power to level a city, but the magical energy that he placed within Ethan to keep him alive is fading. Every usage of Jasper's abilities threatens to send him over the edge of insanity, but stopping would spell Ethan's death.Ethan's only hope lies in the very artifact that put him in this situation: the Everflame. The two of them join forces with Linna, a young pirate woman coming into her own powers. Linna needs a teacher to guide her, and the only one who can help is the gremlin. Together with their travelling companions, Ethan and Jasper set out to claim the Everflame. Unfortunately, they aren't the only ones seeking the artifact. Their old teammate Yon has been hunting them for years. He longs to avenge a murder that he blames Jasper for. Surrounded by his army of writhing monsters, he'll stop at nothing to see the two dead.
