My Debut Novel
Welcome to the journey
From the shadows comes light
And from the light comes the truth
As the old once was new so the new will grow old
And the old that we knew shall be known once again
A new world awaits your arrival
I look back across the years at the places I’ve been, the life I have lived, and the connection to the land that made it possible. All those times I looked out from some high place at the world and wondered at its mysteries, its past, and its stories. Now I pay tribute to that jorney with the creation of another world drawn from that life.
Welcome to my journey and my dream.
What is it about?
Good question.
How to answer without giving too much away?
A short explanation would be. “Its about life.”
Set in an ancient world, bearing the scars of a scattered nation in a post plague era, it is the story of life, the story of the land in which it is set, the lives that inhabit it and the impact of war on both. It's a story of allegiances and treachery, of politics and subterfuge following the different lives it touches through the landscape of a war torn land balanced on the brink of destruction.
From growing friendships to deadly rivalry obscured by ambition and greed. It touches on the vast spectrum of human emotions, follows each life on a journey through war, hardship and personal challenge. From the chaos of war comes truth, love and freedom, bound with the strength of friendship borne from fire.
In a world decimated by plague, a broken scattered nation wars within itself forming strange allegiances to reclaim its former power. But unknown to those who manipulate their own narrow existence, the land itself has a part to play.
Hidden deep within the Ainwir the last being of the forest rises from the ashes of a deeper treachery bringing a far more subtle war to the growing chaos. The land will not tolerate the destructive abuse of natural balance.
Warped to suit selfish purpose, twisted in the hands of a corrupt priestess, the bonds of power that hold nature in balance are being sorely abused. Leached from the earth by arcane knowledge, the power of life is perverted by an ambitious order of priestesses who pay little heed to the harm their meddling causes.
The land slumbers, but not for long, another power overshadows the wars of men. A druid rises.
