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 Oakhaven is a valley in the high, rugged reaches of the Northern Cordillera where the laws of the heart have taken the place of the laws of thermodynamics. In this instance, the snow is a crystalline record of human emotion rather than water. After her father's enigmatic "hollowing," Elara Vance, an archivist by profession, returns to her family's ancestral estate. She learns that her family has been the "Keepers of the Frost" for centuries, serving as living batteries for the valley's hunger, as she makes her way through a landscape where every drift contains a real ghost of a memory. Elara must fight the sentient winter psychologically and determine whether a life free of memory pain is worth the price of losing love in order to prevent her own mind from being engulfed by the permafrost. Chapter 1: The Weight Of White - The Border Between Silence And Sound Image -  Elara clutches her head in a carriage as she enters a snowy valley where the dri...

Three Kings

Summary Kaelvarin, a realm of balanced beauty and perilous terrain, was governed by the  Trinity Accord , a fragile alliance between the three sovereign states:  Elarion, the Kingdom of Light  (ruled by the wise  King Thalion );  Vandrix, the Kingdom of Iron  (led by the ambitious  King Dorian ); and  Morvayne, the Kingdom of Shadows  (commanded by the arcane  King Caelum ). This uneasy peace is violently shattered on the eve of the Accord’s renewal when a chilling prophecy from the  Oracle of Whispers  decrees:  “Three kings. Three fates. One crown will remain.” Consumed by ambition and manipulated by the very prophecy meant to warn him, King Dorian of Vandrix launches a surprise invasion of Elarion, seizing its young heir,  Prince Elion . While Elarion falls and King Thalion is crippled by doubt, King Caelum of Morvayne retreats into arcane research, seeking not conquest, but godhood, a path that requires the blood ...
