Evil spirits. A cursed prince. Death itself in disarray. Iris just wants to go home, but fate has other plans for this young priestess and her odd companions. /// The land of Erinlin is dying, its ancient traditions choked out by the Kaerent church and its true priestesses, the Candlemaidens, increasingly regarded with fear and suspicion. All Iris wants is to tend her candles, win her shade battles, and chat with the spirits of her realm. But when she is torn away from her home by the Kaerent king, she learns that her country needs her to be far more than a typical Candlemaiden-- she must be as the legendary priestesses of old and walk through Death itself. *** Cover help from the awesome @ArdenBrooks.

Aela lives a rather happy and unpretentious life as part of the servitude of a minor principality in northern Pelair. Her life changes forever the day she returns from one of her usual hunting raids and finds the villa where her adoptive mother lives, ablaze in flames. Brannan returns home after a war campaign, only to discover that he is betrayed by his own father, who has no scruples or limits in his quest for power. Fate propitiates Aela and Brannan's paths to intertwine in this milieu of war, rivalry, and betrayal, ending up sharing a series of adventures in an epic journey in which they also find loyalty, friendship, and love, leading them to ultimately discover that their lives are inexorably linked to the fate of Pelair. PELAIR is an epic fantasy novel set in an imaginary medieval world. With the action and daring of Game of Thrones and the journey of search and redemption of Lord of the Rings, this novel will take you on a journey of adventure, intrigue, revenge, and magic in which the eternal struggle between good and evil develops in a unique and original plot.
