In a land of bottomless vales and great stony protrusions, two separate kingdoms are at war, one started far before any of the honored elders can remember, and all mentionings in the histories have long since crumbled to dust . Though a treaty has been signed less than a year previously, skirmishes have arisen and the war is destined to flare up once more. The W'rathe : Dark of eye and hair, one green eye, one muddy, quick of wit and sharp of tongue. They are pitted against the Ae'the: Nearly giants in stature, long flax-golden hair, piercing blue eyes, brash in thoughts and bold of arm. The War is brutal and bloody, carnage being accepted as a way of life.  Both the W'rathe and the Ae'the have demanded that the surrounding country's offer aid, lest they become enemies of war. 
But when a force of darkness arises, seeking out three magical pendants which can grant the user nearly infinite power, bitter enemies must forge alliances to stop it, lest the world around them crumble in their disunity. 
 
This novel is told from all perspectives, on both sides of the war. The characters are many: A  broken assassin, an adventuring woodsmen, a slave to his own mother, and more. Join this epic journey and learn that there is always at least two sides to every story, and that the line between hero and villain is sharp enough to draw blood.

Their ignorance could be their downfall as everything crumbles. Even the veterans aren't prepared for an assault, underestimating their opponent.

Alithium was born to another world, frozen and far from Riverin. Unlikely events destroy everything she holds dear, tearing her away from the only home she's ever known by thrusting her into a foreign land. One of heat and despair. She soon finds out how unwelcoming man can be, taken into a city on the brink of destruction. Her only goal is to escape. Their problems, man or devourer... it didn't concern her. Their faces, all the death, and all the screams. I can still see and hear them to this day - Crow Akroth This is A Day of Sorrow, By Dominik Sorensen. I hope you enjoyed the introduction, the first three chapters. If you did, you can find the full novel on amazon. The link is in my LinkTree in our bio. But, I do want to advise you to read (A Promise of Blood) before this novel. It takes place before A Day of Sorrow and is quite relevant to understand certain points of this novel. You can also find the order to read my novels in our bio.

Eros, a world forsaken by its gods, left to be governed by kings and Magi, gifted with control over various elements. *** Some say the gods are dead. That Godswar left no victor standing. That perhaps they never wore flesh at all, and old tales are mere tales. Others say they have left this land to their creations, or merely left their bodies, and are now the living spirit of their own element, gifting and empowering their chosens. There's, however, a whisper of madness, or perhaps a jest, that the gods are alive, never ceasing to weave fate to their whims. That they will be seen once again, in time to finish Godswar. Whether it is the gods' will, or not, as the ambitions of kings and outlaws tangle with ploys of betrayal, personal vendettas, fury and passion, a war is sure to come.
