The Provenance is the origin of all things, information dangerous to know and even deadlier to wield in this unforgettable quest for truth across the ages, spanning the fall of divinity, the rise of human cruelty, and magical beings.
The Provenace is the first book of the Astar’s Blade series.

Perfect for fans of The Prince of Thorns and The Blade Itself, Joe Lyon’s debut, Astar’s Blade: The Provenance, is an unforgettable quest for truth across the ages, spanning the fall of humanity and even the gods…
Almon always wished to be special—until he learned of his family curse. With ghosts plaguing his days and hauntings his nights, the boy now wishes only to be forgotten. Promised isolation amidst the mountains, Almon embarks on a quest to the summit.
Instead, silence, he finds Aberfell the Historian, a man as old as time with a memory stretching ever longer. He alone remembers the Provenance, the origin of all things. Among Aberfell’s memories is the hidden truth of the fall of divinity and the rise of humanity. But Almon must be careful, for there is power in such knowledge. Dangerous to know and deadly to wield. For the gods listen to such stories and those that tell them, waiting to reclaim what has been lost.
Blending the timelessness of The Giver, the ghosts of Odd Thomas, and the divinity of Gardens of the Moon, the history immortalized in The Provenance will leave you as haunted as Almon himself.
