Zarethil Realm of upside down shadows

The world is breaking. The sky itself bleeds with fractures of light and shadow. Seas rise, forests whisper with voices not their own, and the companions who once stood united are scattered across a land unraveling at the seams.

Long ago, prophecy spoke of a child born of storm and fire-Angelarion, the Daughter of Tempest and Flame. Her bloodline carried the spark to mend what was shattered, to resist the darkness clawing its way from beneath the earth. But now Angelarion is gone-stolen away, caged in places beyond mortal reach. Her absence is a wound that bleeds through every battlefield and every heart of those who swore to protect her.

Kaelric of the Silver Flame, her sworn protector, now walks a lonely road. Each fire he kindles at night is a reminder of his failure. He battles not only monsters rising from broken lands but also despair, grief, and the relentless memory of the one he could not save. Every step takes him deeper into forests whispering betrayal, skies split with stormlight, and dreams that will not release him.

Duskarr of the Emberlands travels with Veyr, a woman bound by shadows she cannot cast off. Their journey leads into lands where fate itself twists-plains that hum with strange voices, rivers that defy nature, stars that no longer hold steady. Together they march toward an end no flame or blade can resist, into a darkness that hungers to swallow them whole.

Austriel Ironheart and his brother Levandor Stormrider face trials of blood and sacrifice, carving a path through skies fractured and ground trembling with ancient horrors. They learn the price of loyalty and the weight of hope when all else fails.

Saloria, sharp and unflinching, is haunted by visions of rifts tearing open, gods returning not as saviors but as storm. The druids whisper of a terror older than fire itself, of a reckoning that will consume both mortals and gods alike.

And always, the memory of Angelarion lingers-daughter, sister, heir, prisoner. Her silence haunts every step her companions take.

What begins as a desperate escape becomes a fight for existence itself. Cages give way to visions, whispers to screams, and the heavens split with celestial fire and shadows of unspeakable shape. From ancient horrors clawing through the earth to divine voices shaking marrow and soul, the world becomes a battlefield between mortality and gods.

Angelarion: Daughter of Tempest and Flame is a saga of loyalty tested, grief endured, and fire rekindled in despair. A story of companions fractured across a dying land, each struggling against their own failures as greater darkness stirs.

When the heavens shatter and the gods return, can the lost be found? Or will even the Daughter of Tempest and Flame be consumed in the breaking of the world?

For readers of The Stormlight Archive, The Wheel of Time, and The Priory of the Orange Tree, this epic delivers unforgettable battles, intimate struggles, and a world unraveling at the seams.

Step into the storm. The gods are watching. And the fire has only just begun.
