THE REALMS OF THRICE by stringsonthisguitar The Realms of Thrice follows two unlike heroines, Emri Dyer and Nora Blackheart, as they are thrust into a mounting feud between the dark and light kingdoms. Will their pasts follow them and ultimately doom them for failure? Or can they overcome their history and make all right once again? This is a journey of love, redemption, self-discovery, and forgiveness. ●●● A divine prediction was written by the nineteen Gods of Thrice that one child would be born into one of the three Realms of Thrice, but would transcend all realms and ultimately unite all into one; merging light and darkness together for the first time since creation. This child was not seen as a prophet, but merely a messenger of hope and redemption for all of humanity. They would show that evil was not born, but rather created through the struggles and suffering of life. The worlds, and all who inhabit them, were neither dark nor light, but all variants in between.

"Lucas, you must return home." These enigmatic words are all the preparation young Lucas Bywood receives when he is summoned home early from his Grand Tour. He little expects the tangle of obligations that ensnares him from the moment he sets foot on the family estate. His best friend caught up in gambling debts, his father forcing him into an arranged marriage with a young woman he dislikes and who is in love with another, and his mother struggling to recover from a suspicious riding accident... Faced with pressure from all sides, Lucas wants nothing more than to turn around and escape back to the continent. However, he cannot leave without solving the mystery of his mother's accident. Finding the answer will take more than his usual stubbornness, and Lucas soon finds himself out of his depth. What is a young man to do when everything that can go wrong seems determined to do so?
