** Peaked at 3rd in #Fantasy & 4th in #Adventure ** One windless summer afternoon, Dari Lamuan unexpectedly receives a rare gift from the Ten Gods -- the Gift of the Winds, which gives him the power to control the winds and to commune with wind guardians. Being new to his gift, he has to learn how to control his abilities, or cause more harm than good to the people around him. And so, he has to leave his hometown and embark on a journey to a distant monastery where he could find a Wind Master. Whilst visiting relatives in the capital city of Kanay, however, he hears strange stories about abductions in the city and the surrounding areas. Many believe that a dark cult is responsible for the abductions, targeting those with elemental gifts like Dari. With the looming threat of abduction and unseen dangers, will Dari find the fortitude to push on with his journey or will he fall victim to the dark and sinister cult? ******* Photo Credit: The image of the sleeping woman on the book cover was created Leandro de Caravalho from Pixabay.

Updating Fridays and Sundays, Kingdom's Fall is a fantasy adventure set in a world where heroes find themselves pitted against an ancient and powerful magic. Kara has lived her whole life trapped under the roof of her father's inn. She longs for adventure, but there is little to be found in a backwater village: at least until Aiden Baird arrives. Noble, rogue, and spy - Aiden Baird is the most notorious man in the Kingdom. Or he would be, if he could remember who he is... Cuan has lived his entire life as the garrison brat, surrounded by soldiers. Unwanted and ignored, he travels north in the service of the one man he looks up to: Gray, the garrison captain. But Captain Gray has concerns of his own. It has been fifteen years since he last saw the King, and they did not part on good terms. Something dark is growing in the Kingdom. Trade from the south has choked to a standstill, and the air over the marshes hangs heavy with the threat of war. In the north the sea-wall, the ancient defence that protects the coastline, is crumbling. The people look to their lords for guidance, and the lords look to their King. King Varion has little time for their concerns. His daughter has been kidnapped by a priest-cult who intend to sacrifice her and summon an ancient power into the world. Faced with an enemy beyond human understanding, there is only one conclusion. In order to save their people, the Kingdom must fall.
