The Shards of Akryium

Join me on my own adventure. I recently discovered my first manuscript of a fantasy book that I completed at 14, and began at 13. Nearly Fifteen years later, The Shards of Akryium.

In a world rebuilt from divine wrath, Meyla, a young woman burdened by the memories of her family's tragic end, ventures into the heart of a broken world in search of answers. Armed only with mysterious shards that pulse with ancient power, she uncovers the truth behind the destruction of Lexis-a once-thriving city reduced to ash in an apocalyptic judgment from the god Akryium.

But the shards are not mere relics. They hold the power to connect the living and the dead, to reshape the past, and to challenge the will of the divine. As Meyla pieces together the history locked within them, she discovers that her survival was no accident-she was chosen. Now, she must confront Akryium himself to understand her purpose and, perhaps, to rewrite the destiny of her world.

Faced with terrifying Guardians who will stop at nothing to protect the shards, Meyla's journey takes her through labyrinths of stone, frozen wastelands, and the Veil that separates life from death. Along the way, she grapples with her faith, her pain, and her resilience, ultimately asking: Can one mortal stand against a god's judgment and live to tell the tale?

"The Shards of Akryium" is a dark fantasy epic that explores the fragility of faith, the weight of survival, and the indomitable will to seek truth in the face of divine reckoning. Perfect for fans of emotionally charged narratives like The Broken Earth Trilogy by N.K. Jemisin and the sprawling, atmospheric worlds of The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson, this story promises to captivate readers with its intricate lore, intense action, and deeply human protagonist.
