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.

Captured, branded, and thrown into a cage, Akkali and Teren had been bought a day before their scheduled executions as unwanted merchandise. Their new master was Galenfyr, a popular Oratio of the Empire, and the pair of Enkiri medeis were to become his newest test subjects as he researched the roots and limits of their race's magic with the Empress Consort Herself as his patron. Now separated from Teren, Akkali had been patiently planning their escape from their master, right down to the finite details of which bottle of his favorite wine would deliver her carefully brewed poison to the guard's stomachs. And she, along with everyone else in the Empire of Haren, had been waiting for months for the ailing Emperor Juriyah IV to finally drop dead so she could put her plans into action and rescue her friend. What she didn't plan on, however, was the Empress Regent declaring a Grand Melee in the name of the Emperor Infantantes, or that her master's two brothers would bring along their own retinue of unwanted slaves to be sacrificed in the arena for the Empire's bloodsport...

***Updated on Sundays*** The gods have died and the arkanists have been blamed. Ash and darkness cloak the land, the Evernight, the free folk call it. Daemons rise from the shadows and the nights are long. Alone upon the road, heading to the College at Oldtowne, Hale finds refuge within a book. That book is called, The Arkanist, and tells the story of a boy called Kaedn Fallow. *** Following his father's unanticipated suicide, Kaedn is left alone and alienated throughout the city he has grown up in, faced with isolation, poverty, and questions. He needs to find out why his father killed himself, and starts off by searching through the library, reading the books his father read shortly before his untimely death. While there, he stumbles upon one man's secret, and changes his life forever. Copyright © 2015, Jack Pagliante. All Rights Reserved. Cover Artwork: Marc Simonetti
