Bloodsworn
"Everyone from Jalard knew what a bloodoath was. Legendary characters in the tales people told to their children often made such pacts with the gods. By drawing one's own blood whilst speaking a vow, people became 'Bloodsworn'. And in every tale where the oath was broken, the ending was always the same. The Bloodsworn died."It has been twelve years since The War of Ashes, but animosity still lingers between the nations of Sharma and Gavendara, and only a few souls have dared to cross the border between them.? The villagers of Jalard live a bucolic existence, nestled within the hills of western Sharma, and far away from the boundary which was once a warzone. To them, tales of bloodshed seem n...
The Janus Cycle
The Janus Cycle can best be described as gritty, sexy, surreal, urban fantasy. Janus is a nightclub. But it’s not merely a location, it’s virtually a character in its own right. On the surface it appears to be a subcultural hub where the strange and disillusioned, who feel alienated and oppressed by society, can escape to be free from convention. Underneath that façade is a surreal space in time where the very foundations of reality can be twisted and distorted. But the special, unique, vibe of Janus is hijacked by a bandwagon of people who choose to conform to alternative lifestyles simply because it has become fashionable to be ‘different’ and this causes many of its original occu...
Dinnusos Rises
The vibe has soured somewhat since a violent clash in the Janus nightclub a few months ago, so Neal opened an establishment on the outskirts of town and called it 'Dinnusos' hoping it would become a new nucleus for urban bohemia. Dinnusos is on the forgotten side of town. It is not the sort of place one stumbles upon by accident, it is the kind which enchants people. Rumours say that it was once a fancy hotel, many years ago, but no one is quite sure. Now it is a retreat for the lost souls of urbia. Whilst mingling in the bar downstairs one may find oneself in the company of poets, dreamers, outsiders, and all manner of misfits and rebels. And if that is not interesting enough, there is a wh...
Blood Legacy
The ragtag group from Jalard have finally reached Shemet, Sharma's capital city. Scarred and bereft, they bring with them the grim tale of what happened to their village, and a warning about the ancient powers that have been awakened and now threaten all humanity. Despite this, some of them still hope that reaching sanctuary within the Synod will mean an end to their hardships, but these hopes are soon dashed. Sharma's ruling class are caught within their own inner turmoil. When Jaedin senses that there are moles within their ranks, not only does his call to crisis fall mostly on deaf ears, but some who do hear seek to thwart him when he tries to hunt these infiltrators down. Meanwhile, across the Valantian Mountains, Gavendara is beginning to muster its forces. Using ritualistic means to augment their soldiers, their mutant army is like nothing the world has ever seen before. The Zakaras are coming. And Sharma's only hope of stopping them is if it can unite its people in time.
