Synopsis -
Arcana: a land scarred by the brutality of the Human-Vampyric Wars. The Faëkin races, including Dwarfs, Felids, Satyrs, and Varda-kai –– commonly referred to as Vampyr due to their insatiable thirst for human blood–– have been rejected by mankind and banished from the New Continent. An ideology enforced by the extremist views of human superiority, fueled by rapid industrialization and Imperial expansionism.
Yet, somewhere in the quaint town of Riverden, a retired veteran of the Northern Civil Wars –– Thaleron Oakheart and his family’s lives are turned sideways when their Yuletide festivities are disrupted by fiendish Night Wraiths –– banshees that feed on the souls of the living –– which are unleashed upon the settlement, bringing nothing but death and chaos.
Thaleron suffers the consequence of survival, and is now tasked with uncovering the culprits behind these demons. Along the path, he meets Salaena, an exiled Varda-kai princess on a mission to return a Vampyric relic known as the Elder Blade, back to her Coven –– and stop the same Defiler who unleashed the very Night Wraith’s upon Riverden from awakening his master, the Vampyric Wraith King…
Together, Thaleron and Salaena embark on a quest across the Known World, forming an unlikely alliance between two unlikely allies –– all in efforts to prepare Arcana's forces for an invasion from the Wraith King’s armies!
What a full on powerful read this is. Beautifully written by a fantastic author. A mix of adventure and drama, fantasy and even a touch of Sci-fi. The whole book is brilliant. A riveting read with characters that emerge from the page and explode into your mind. The story line and world building is well thought out and very clever. This book will capture you and hold you hostage but you will not care, Stockholm Syndrome has never been so much fun.
