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.
