Vast Energies

In past posts I've mentioned an untitled high fantasy project, and I've talked a little about the Books of Amber, but now I can reveal a blurb and other fancy things!

First off here's the blurb.

A magical protector.

A hunted prince.

A tormented king.

In the vast realm of Síoraí anyone in possession of magic is killed. Hael Opscurus, King of the Great West, fears that his reign is threatened when a rebel Prince escapes during a conquest of the North, along with a companion of the most dangerous kind. A Protector. With the Western Compass rebelling against him, Hael and his formidable Sorcerer army will stop at nothing to capture the fugitives and eliminate the threat.

Alezander and his Protector Seren have been running ever since the Western King ordered his Sorcerers to kill Alezander’s father—the King of the Northern Compass. Now on the run and with very few options, Alezander and Seren must seek safety in foreign lands with strangers. But while the pair stay hidden a war is igniting, and people are relying on Alezander to win it.

Inspired by Little Snow-White by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, Books of Amber is a series of high fantasy e-novellas to later be compiled into a full novel. 

Vast Energies is novella 1 of 4, and it has a tentative release of this November. Unlike The Lux Guardians, the Books of Amber WILL be available to buy on Amazon.

Each novella will be a mix of poetry and prose (mostly prose - it reads exactly as a novel but each chapter is accompanied by a three lined haiku.) It's the first time I've published any of my poetry, but it really fits the feel of the book.

This is the first haiku:

And this is the first draft of a poem that will appear at the end of Vast Energies. (Click to enlarge)
