Novels by Robert Baker
The Long Dim
Its own series, set inside the Helios Cascade universe.
About the series
Two thousand years ago, the Abundance stood a hall of pillars in a valley and bound them, and the town of Harrowmouth was built on top. Their haulers still carry crates up and down the haul-road, day and night. The binding is still in the stone. Here and there, it is starting to slide.
The Long Dim follows four friends from Harrowmouth, Wren Tallis, Tova Sard, Holt Dunne and Ivo Dray, through one long story, told in turn by each of them. It begins the day they leave school, unlicensed, with a mentor who has never taken anyone. Magic here has limits: everyone can hold only so much and push only so hard, and when it’s spent, it’s spent.
