A righteous law-abiding servant to the people and a distinguished pirate are about to play their part in a foretold bid for Aeldynn’s future.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! I submitted a story to the From the Deep anthology by Fiction Atlas Press, and am both extremely grateful and proud to say I have been accepted. 

The story I've written, Velantiir: Lost City of the Ancients, is set before Keys of the Origin, and follows Captain Larkh Savaldor and his crew on board the elite warship Greshendier into treacherous waters to find the ancient Nays city, Velantiir, and the mysterious Neiréyu (merfolk). The story can be read standalone, but does set up a few things prior to the events of Keys of the Origin, which will follow into the rest of the Scions of Balance series. 

I look forward to promoting this further with my fellow authors who were accepted into this anthology, and hope you'll enjoy reading it.

The release date is set for September 29th, and there will be a paperback available then. For the next couple of weeks, the ebook pre-order price is just 99p/99c, which you can get here - https://books2read.com/fromthedeep

I actually have a sign to hang on my door saying "If you disturb my reading, you better have tea" to at least somewhat combat this problem. #readingforpleasure #busyreading #immersivereading https://www.instagram.com/p/CNkcNdVHYDk/?igshid=1tp6fbmcweotx

Many thanks to Madhur for the lovely review of Keys of the Origin. http://bit.ly/2M3KJQE

"I was hooked to this story from the first page itself. I loved how the author built the entire world. I especially loved the way she explains about the different factions of humans in this world and how their power are connect to one single source. One of the notable elements was when one of the factions, namely Nays, were allowed to speak in their own language. It made them a lot more interesting."

If you like Monster Hunter World, and want to learn more about the monsters and their environments, I recommend this book. I'm also finding it useful for world-building.

From an Amazon UK customer *****: 'Keys of the Origin' is a high fantasy novel that doesn't try to sneak up on you. Right from the start, it's a high-stakes epic fantasy tale of demi-gods, mages, and heroes as yet unaware of their destinies. It reminded me of David Eddings 'Belgariad' but importantly doesn't fall into the trap of some of Edding's work in that even the most powerful of characters feel vulnerable.  Amazon (also available at other online retailers): UK - https://amzn.to/2CfAd1g US - https://amzn.to/2rPmqsb #epic #epicfantasy #fantasy #fantasybook #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksbooksbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CDBi3URgw4L/?igshid=edtv9ev76h2g

By author of "The Spinning of Deception", Elizabeth Lavender.

This was an amazing read on several levels. The author has literally created an astounding world for us. The intricate detail of the places, the structures, the lore/mythology, the culture, and even its own language in certain parts of the story show an author’s passion for her story that we are lucky enough to become a part.
