A Grim Light Rising

 





Brace yourself for a heart-thumping journey alongside a band of adventurers with peculiar yet astonishing powers!


In a land where the remnants of destruction are still imprinted in the mind of its people, Devianna’s existence alone is a threat that must be extinguished. Her life could be in danger once her village discovers what she is—a Vacillian. There’s only one way for her townspeople to describe her power—a freak of nature.


Only the oldest of the women had seen a Vacillian and Devianna grew up hearing haunting tales describing the monstrous entity. One thing is certain. She will be stoned to death once everyone learns about her secret.


Devianna soon crosses path with the itinerant bard Madino, a part of a secret order of hyper-empaths striving for centuries to heal Messano and return it to its former glory. The ancient chronicle he declaims at Castle Inario about the wise Soltans who once ruled the world inspires King Nical with visions of unlimited power.


The king sees an opportunity to build an unstoppable army when his brother, Tavi, exhumes the lost art of forging iron. Little does he know that he has ceased aging and owes his uncanny youth to the servant girls who fall in love with him, only to wither away and die.


Arran—Nical and Tavi’s other brother swings back and forth between hopeless despair and giddy joy. He discovers how he can fly like an eagle and read currents within time unfolding when he’s under the influence of foria smoke—a stimulant that elates him. Soon, he becomes a prophet-figure to disaffected youth.


A Grim Light Rising is a gripping epic fantasy with complex characters and thrilling backstories. Know how each of them wields their unique powers and navigates the broken land of Messano.
