Ancientevil Stories

Until now, magic has been elemental-fire and lightning, ice and sound. But some power is not wielded. It is spoken. Light of the Broken Tongue draws back the veil on the Fey Kingdom, the living language of Syvareth, and the girl whose birth may change the balance of the world. Through Lumiriel, truths long buried begin to surface-about lost voices, fractured histories, and the price of silence. What became of the four fey who escaped captivity-and what will happen when their stories are finally heard? As the stars shift overhead, the dragons of the Luminous Grove emerge from centuries of isolation. Bound to fate and guided by constellations older than kingdoms, they watch, they wait, and they know more than they are willing to say-especially Altairix, a star dragon whose path is written across the night sky. But far beneath stone and soil, something ancient stirs. An old hunger. A buried evil that remembers the world before peace. If it rises, the fragile alliance between humans, dragons, and fey may shatter completely... or be forged into something stronger than it has ever been. Because there is no force more unifying than a threat that could destroy them all.

Alexis Langford and her best friend Jewel are driving through Missouri's Mark Twain National Forest when a low-tire warning forces them to pull onto the shoulder of a remote road. They expect to check the tire, find the nearest gas station, and be back on their way within minutes, but then Alexis notices something sitting just beyond the tree line. It is an old wooden chair, intricately carved and strangely untouched by the forest surrounding it. There is no house nearby, no campsite that would explain its presence, and no reason anyone would have positioned it to face the road as though someone had been sitting there watching passing cars. Then a woman screams from somewhere deep inside the woods. Alexis knows they should leave, find cell service, and call the police, but walking away becomes much harder when another scream follows and she realizes someone may be in terrible danger. Alexis and Jewel cross the ditch and follow the sound into the forest. What they discover hidden among the trees is more horrifying than anything they could have imagined, and by the time they realize they were never supposed to see it, something in the darkness has already seen them. They escape the forest alive, but Alexis quickly realizes that surviving what happened does not mean it is over. The chair was not simply an abandoned piece of furniture, and the terrible things hidden in those woods did not begin on the night she found it. As Alexis searches for answers, she begins uncovering stories of missing people, unexplained deaths, and disturbing encounters stretching back years. Buried within those stories is one impossible detail that keeps appearing in places where it should never be: an old wooden chair sitting alone, waiting at the edge of the trees. Different years and different victims lead back to the same terrifying question, and every answer Alexis finds brings her closer to something that has remained hidden for generations. Someone-or something-has been leaving th

This grievous spell cruelly snatches away his beloved kin, leaving him with naught but their memories and a pendant - a symbol of the enduring bond of family and the legacy they bore. Thus begins Elden's odyssey, a quest born from the ashes of tragedy. His path winds through realms diverse and wondrous - from the shadowed depths of ancient, whispering forests to the vast, undulating meadows, where the grass sings with the morning dew. His journey brings him into communion with beings as varied as the stars above - the sage Alaric, an enchanter of olden days whose wisdom is as deep as the roots of the mountains, and the reclusive denizens of the Gwathuirim realm, whose secrets are as closely held as the pearls of the deepest sea. Haunted by the spectres of his lost wife, Lira, and his cherished offspring, Alin and Mira, Elden traverses the land. By his side, a fellowship of dwarves, each bearing their own burdens of grief and tales of valor.
