The Kingdom That Forgot The Sun

Image
Summary Long ago, in a land where the sky was said to bleed gold at the break of dawn, the Kingdom of Ithralis made a deal with a dying god. In return for immortality, they gave the Sun away. Now the world is forever trapped under a twilight sky. No one grows old. No one dies. No one ever truly comes alive. Centuries turn into millennia. Love decays into memory. Children never start. The stars grow weary of the sight. At the heart of the silent kingdom is King Vaelor the Undying. He was the first to be offered immortality. He was the first to realize the true cost. But the Sun was not taken from the world. It was imprisoned. And the gods do not forget. This is the tale of a kingdom that was given immortality. It was given something worse.

Summary A forgotten legend lingers beneath the mud in the remote fenlands of Greymire Hollow, where water swallows chirp and reeds whisper in the wind. Following the death of her mother, Mara Ellison returns to her ancestral cottage to find the village has shrunk—quieter, more vigilant, and confined by customs no one can explain.

Mara starts to suspect that the local legend of the Reedwife—a spirit said to defend the village at a terrible cost—is not a story but rather a pact after discovering the truth behind it. One that was shaped by her own ancestry. And there's something waiting for her in the marsh.

Midnight At The Mirror Lake

Image
Summary The outsiders stopped sleeping by the third night. They couldn't take their eyes off the panes of every window in Black Hollow that faced the lake. When an influencer smiled, she saw her reflection removing filters and exposing the hunger hidden beneath the charm. A distraught architect watched as blood that wasn't there yet trickled from his mirrored hands. After midnight, the sound of laughter reverberated from the docks, but nobody was there. The residents of the town never went near the water. Their price had already been paid. The inexorable urge to correct what they saw drew the outsiders to the shore one by one.Without any ripples, the lake greeted them.Bodies moved in, and reflections moved forward. The surface froze once more at dawn, flawless, naive, and devoid. Newcomers to Black Hollow avoided mirrors and smiled too cautiously. Mirror Lake waited, understanding that vanity always draws people back. PART ONE Chapter One: The Stillness That Watches - The Unmov...
