In the mystical realm of Aliriel, Eamon Duskwood, a seventeen-year-old born into a lineage of revered clerics, finds himself embroiled in a harrowing battle against an insidious adversary: the Arcane Blight. Rather than embodying hope as expected, Eamon grapples with the terrifying specter of the Blight lurking within him, pushing him toward the brink of madness.

Haunted by his fears and the ominous presence of the Blight, Eamon sets out on a perilous journey, venturing beyond the safety of Athia's confines. Across the expansive landscapes of Aliriel, he seeks ancient wisdom and confronts formidable adversaries, all in a desperate quest for a cure.

As Eamon delves deeper into forgotten secrets and clashes with powerful forces intent on his failure, he will meet friends and foe alike. The fate of the world and his own sanity hang precariously in the balance. With courage and determination, Eamon must navigate treacherous paths and face the darkness threatening to engulf him.

A story about beings of light, called Lightborn, this book explores their emergence on a planet called Erta. From the first steps they take into the world, to crucial discoveries and conflicts, the Lightborn become lords of the world gifted to them by their Creator.

A story of discovery, adventure, action and drama, it's all a most epic adventure set in a completely fictional universe.

There are things no one was meant to see, and darkness that should never have been given living form.

"That the world is coming to an end has long since been a dead issue. Everyone has heard of it. Those who have seen it know what the truth is, those who haven't either believe it or not. Either way, no one really cares. We shattered reality itself to shards, but even the apocalypse could not make a difference. Those who are lucky enough to live well don't care about other people's misery or how the world collapses, not even if their own children will have nothing to inherit but ashes and fear, and no matter how much power they have, they only use it for their own benefit, while bringing suffering to others. And the worst is, no matter what nightmarish old or new ideologies they use to justify their deeds, the flock will follow. In the end, the story is always the same."

This is the story of a broken world haunted by the deepest horrors of the human soul, relentless persecution and superstitious hatred, a fanatic war against everything that is not human, and the damned who oppose and never yield to fate. This is not a fairytale.

What to expect:

A deep dark medieval high-fantasy with elves, dwarves, fairies and demons, magic and swords, romance and hatred, and a post-apocalyptic world. This is not a fanfiction of any sort, it's an original story that popped out from my head, and it's very dear to me. I am really happy if you find it worth reading!

Please read the short "Good to know" chapter before you dive in!

A battle-hardened mercenary captain, allying with a princess and a goddess incarnate, falls in the throes of war, only to awaken 80 years later in the body of a child. Believing his allies had triumphed, he is stunned to find their history veiled in shadows and deceit. Embark on an epic quest with our hero as he unravels the twisted webs of lies and reclaims the truth that imprisoned his world.

In the Kingdom of Hreyn, Ollo has managed to scrape by with minimal effort in life, unable to find joy in work or love. One day, however, he meets a strange traveler that needs his help. In exchange, the stranger agrees to teach him about the mystic art of binding - the magic of legends. From that moment on, nothing will ever be the same.

"The Bonds of Time" is the first book in the "Everwander Chronicles" by Keith Daniels.

The time has come. King Jameson arrives on the Continent to seal his union with his betrothed, Queen Taresa. The marriage will unite the two most powerful kingdoms of Afari: Marland and Ibia. What’s more, Jameson will be able to start his family, to carry on the legacy of Kin Saliswater.

The gravity of such a regal union is not lost on the four Saliswater quadruplets – Symon, Dawkin, Ely, and Gerry – who continue their clandestine ruse as King Jameson. Their lifelong secret continues to serve them well, right up to the exchange of wedding vows . . .

Then chaos ensues. The end of a fragile peace begins.

Kin Saliswater – and soon the whole of Marland – find themselves embroiled in attacks and insurrections, which rise and fall without provocation or warning. The brothers suspect a sinister plot connects all these seemingly random events, but with enemies too numerous to count, none can determine the true source.

With danger looming at every corner of their nation, the highest authorities in Marland convene to formulate a response. In the guise of King Jameson, the four arrive at the gathering . . . Where they encounter a force determined to end them all.

So he set aside everything he wanted to become the model Prince of Haglendi Kingdom his father wanted him to be. Who would have known that things would suddenly fall into chaos and that he, would have to fight against fate for his kingdom?
