The Bravest of Souls

Picture
Fantasy / High Fantasy

Niv’leana’s serene life in the beautiful Jeweled Woods is turned upside down when an unexpected visitor informs her that she possesses great power. As an infant, her abilities were shrouded for her own protection. Now nearing adulthood, she is invited to return to her ancestral home and join the magical order of the Ael’Shanar. 

Along the way, Niv is forced to watch helplessly as her evil cousin, Vorea, brutally seizes control of the ancient order. Vorea wastes no time in using her newfound power to further her own ambitious and sinister agenda. When her mother is unexpectedly abducted and tortured by Vorea, Niv realizes that she must fulfill her destiny. She must save her mother and put a stop Vorea’s brutal reign, before it is too late.

Rebirth

Picture
Fantasy / High Fantasy

Niv’leana saved the world, and in the process, lost her mother. 

After successfully putting an end to Vorea’s cruel reign, Niv reluctantly assumed the role of high priestess of the Ael’Shanar. Her fiancé Aiden, her best friend Frasie, and the proctor Shareis helped her rebuild Selandis, and bring peace to the region. 

Eighteen months later, a diplomat arrives in Selandis with important news concerning the Den’tari. This, paired with Niv’s all-consuming quest to free her mother’s spirit from Vorea’s magical prison, diverts her attention away from those in the temple who seek a return to the old ways. 

Niv departs Selandis on urgent business and leaves her assistant in charge, unknowingly throwing her into the growing political struggle that is consuming Selandis. Along the way, a mysterious man offers her hospitality for the night, setting into motion a chain of events that threatens to undo everything she has worked so hard to achieve.

High Priestess Niv'leana returns to the Jeweled Woods to seek refuge after becoming estranged from Aiden, the love of her life, and losing the Amulet of Balance to her half-brother Kytis. 

Meanwhile, Niv’s best friend Frasie follows Kytis to a strange and distant world where industry and technology are prized, and magic is scorned. There, Frasie learns of a nefarious plot to force an ideology of science and progress upon the people of Selandis. 

As the world becomes embroiled in an epic clash of wills, Niv returns to Selandis in effort to rally the people of the continent to band together and save the future of magic.
