Foreword to the E-Book Edition of

In Legend Born

The Silerian Trilogy: Book One

This ebook contains some extra features which were not in the original hardcover and paperback editions of In Legend Born.

First and foremost are the color maps, which I commissioned from my friend Elizabeth Person. If you have a black-and-white e-reader and would like to see the color versions, or if you'd just like to see a larger image of the maps, they're posted on my website—along with an additional feature which is explained in the Author's Note at the end of this book.

There's also a Glossary of various terms created for the world of the novel, as well as directories of Characters, Clans, Factions, and Place Names.

In Legend Born has been out of print for a few years, and I am delighted to be able to make it available again. I hope you enjoy this novel—as well as the remaining two books of the trilogy, The White Dragon and The Destroyer Goddess.
