Book
1 excerpt (A Light in the Darkness):
For
ten years, the dark mage Maelos has shrouded Evendreil in darkness and
oppression. With no hope in sight, many are struggling to survive; others pray
that their luck will remain. In searching for answers, Sylas stumbles upon an
ancient artifact--a mysterious silver amulet--that confirms the reality of the
fabled Vault of Kings. Hoping to overthrow Maelos and end his evil reign, Sylas
and his companions set off to find the legendary elemental stones of power that
are needed to unlock the door to the vault. If they are to succeed in their
quest, they must first learn to master the ancient art of Magick in all of its
basic forms: Light, Darkness, Water, Fire, Nature, and Air. Then they must pray
that whatever secret is contained in the Vault of Kings will be enough to give
them the edge that they need to defeat the most powerful dark mage that the
world has ever seen.
Book 2 excerpt (Alliance):
Gelendor has fallen. Darkness has descended once again. Despite the danger, Torren has decided to stay in Gelendor to try and form a secret rebellion while the others make their journey towards Sindmyr, the Capital of Light. Once there, Sylas and Samara will need to convince the King of Sindmyr to join their cause and fight back against the armies of Maelos. To be successful, the two young mages will not only need to continue to master the ancient art of Light Magick, but also uncover an ancient secret that has been hidden away beneath the City of Light for generations. A secret that could prove deadly to any who attempt to wield it. Most importantly, Sylas will need to prove that he is worthy to obtain the Stone of Light and unite it with the ancient silver amulet. With two Elemental Stones of power at his side, Sylas will bring himself one step closer to completing the key to the Vault of Kings. One step closer to unlocking the powerful secret that's been hidden from the world for over a thousand years. Gelendor has fallen to Darkness, but in the Light... there is still hope.
I truly believe that The Vault of Kings is something special
and lovers of fantasy should at least give it a try. It may never be the
greatest fantasy story ever written, it will probably never even become very
popular, but it’s special because it comes from an amazingly wild imagination
and is dripping with true passion and love; not for how successful the story
is, but that the story that is in my mind is simply written down to share with
others if they would like to partake. I always wonder how others get
inspiration for their stories and if they share any similarities with how I do
it. For example, I needed to write a part that was creepy/scary for a certain
character. I decided that the very best way to do this was for me to experience
the horror myself, then immediately write about it. I watched a good, clean,
horror movie to get my mind in the mood, then walked outside in the woods in
the dark for about an hour, specifically trying to get my mind to see things,
hear things, and just get myself scared. I would breathe in deeply to get my
heart racing, and imagine what it would be like to be in a situation where
these scary things that happen in movies could actually happen. Needless to
say, it worked like a charm. After wandering around in the woods for about an
hour, I immediately came back inside and began furiously typing. I didn’t stop
to fix grammatical or spelling errors, I just wanted to get all of the
thoughts, feelings, emotions, sounds, smells, everything all onto paper before
it faded at all. I wrote the entire chapter that night, and it to this day is
one of my favorite chapters that I have written.
