This first book is a sort of bible of the Exile universe, detailing a part of it's mythical lore. This book takes you through the story of how magic birthed the universe in which all of the Exile stories take place. With each chapter a new essential part of it's creation is explained. All the way from the two entities that started it all, to the creation of men and eventually the downfall of Adumn and his ascension to godhood. Here's a small section dedicated to the wonderful artists who managed to inspire me to write this specific book. Arkane studios with their wonderful Dishonored series. And the song to which I visualized this whole book is: Giving tree by the wonderful band If these trees could talk. Small excerpt from chapter 5, the wickedness of things "Ish looked up at the sky and saw elegant brightly colored birds were flying past chased by a majestic skywhale unlike the others she had seen. With it's mouth widely opened she could see it had sharp teeth ready to grind and devour the poor creatures. What a beautiful yet sad sight she thought to herself, she loved looking at the predators chasing their prey. It reminded her of the wicked nature of all things whether intentional or not"All Rights Reserved
