The gods are gone, but their blood still courses through royal veins, shaping empires long after their abandonment. Darrow Ghaldre, the feared Kingslayer King, seeks to annihilate every other monarch and their kin to break the divine grip on mankind.
Now, twenty cycles later, peace decays as crops rot, beasts prowl, and whispers stir of god-blood that survived. Johanus Dhulos, once Ghaldre’s blade, now tends his fields in peace with his son Quintin. Until a shadow from the past comes hunting.
The end of kings was only the beginning.
The kingdoms of Eldoria have known centuries of stillness since Ulrich the Mad—an Elven tyrant twisted by dark magic—was sealed beneath the roots of the world. But when Iyonmana, conduit of the Sun Tree and matriarch of Andradia, receives a vision of his return, the other conduits dismiss it as a fading flame of an old war.
Refusing to stand idle, she sends her two great granddaughters—Idia, a blazing knight with a warrior’s temper, and Uwa, a quiet archer whose water magic runs deeper than it seems—to investigate the growing signs of unrest. Joined by the Moonflower prince Illythand the enigmatic mage Aelar, they must navigate hostile lands, divine politics, and elemental trials to uncover what may be a rising threat… or a fire that never truly died.
But something ancient is stirring.And if they fail, Ulrich will rise again.
In a realm of ancient trees, political courts, and buried gods, two heirs of the Sun Tree must uncover a truth older than their blood.
"Two siblings, bound by fate's cruel thread. One shall fall, the other to dread."
Amidst a brutal winter where rumours of a new, incurably plague sweeps the quiet town of Glendale, Evander Nightlark must scrap up enough money to protect his sister, Wynter, along with all within an orphanage from death's clutches. One minute, he's on his way to another job, the next he's fighting for his life against creatures ripped straight from nigthmares.
Demons...and they're after him and his sister.
In comes Barbara Green, an eccentric cat lady with a hidden past as an exiled Seraphim who reveals a world fraught with magic and mystery. The homeland of the Seraphim, the descendants of the Bible's Noah of the Ark, guardians ordained by God to shield humanity from demons, the Nephilim, offspring of fallen angels and the Sage witches and warlocks ruled by the ever elusive Sage Queen.
As the chains of destiny anchor the siblings in a series of events that leads to the discovery of the Ancient Prophecy, one that foretells the defeat of the race of shadows, darkness cloak the earth and the Sage Queen's plan hinges on gathering enough human life force to bring it about...and it may be in the form the siblings least expected...
Will the siblings muster up the power they're destined to wield and stop the plot that would spell the end of the race of both men and Seraphim or will darkness prevail, rendering all they hold dear to ash?
The Second Coalition War (80-98 EH) was fought 265 years after the conclusion of the First Coalition War.
Due to the the unification of Upper Empyrea into the Umbracresti-Estrinite-Glacian-Narcissian Archregion (UEGNA) under Archcountess-Khatun Vega Calliope Ego by marriage, inheritance and alliances, the other regions dissolved UEGNA seats on CEDA and formed the Cerulean-Vorantine-Aqulio-Pheasantine Union (CVAPU) in response.
After Vega abdicated in 78 EH, her twenty year son is crowned Archcount-Khagan Urlic IV & I Ego-Estrin-Romanakov of Umbracrest, Estrin, Glacier and Narciss. Urlic is more aggressive than his mother and the other regions declare war on the Archregion....
