The First Sires (The Canticles Mythos Series Book 1) by Matthew Morrese

In the Canticles Mythos Series, the myths and legends of the Realms of Aegis are brought to life through literature and illustration. Here, you will follow the twelve races, as they were in the Age of Origin, to delve deep into their cultures, join them on their adventures, and fight by their side in the greatest battles of their times! This is the New Face of High-Fantasy. 

My Review of The First Sires (The Canticles Mythos Series Book 1):

The First Sires is a collection of short tales of twelve races of mortals born of Aegis during Her first thousand years, called the Age of Origin. These are refreshingly original high fantasy stories with colorful descriptions of beautiful worlds with unique creatures. Included in the tales are a multitude of engaging and relatable characters leading lives packed with exciting adventures and heroic battles. I highly recommend the Canticles Mythos series to followers of stories of magical realms.
