The Immortal Words

Summary:

As war looms, and whispers of the destructive Gods’ return grow deafening, can seven mortals reshape destiny?

Living a comfortable, but lonely life as a blacksmith’s apprentice in his adopted home of Aeya, Fen Gisani’s world is thrown upside down when the king unexpectedly declares war on the neighboring Taelovans. Desperate to avoid the violence, the enigmatic Aleesa Auriko offers him another choice: follow her, warn Taelova, and give them time to prepare before the assault arrives.

Together they embark on a journey—escaping conscription, bloodthirsty guards, and bands of thieves. But the dangers aren't just men. When they encounter a mysterious man with the power of the Gods, he has the inexplicable desire to annihilate Fen. In Aleesa’s search for answers, she discovers a single word: Raevan.

In Taelova, Isabel Volaski trains to be a Daughter of the Light at the Temple of Celia, the Goddess of Life. As her sanctification nears and her faith wanes, the bond to her old friend, the mute barkeep, Knox Rhein, becomes too strong to ignore.

As the war nears Taelova’s doorstep, new foes appear with each thread unraveled. Can Fen and his companions ascertain the truth of Raevan and unlock secrets that may save the world? Or will their failure lead to its assured destruction?

The Immortal Words is the first entry in the epic fantasy series, The Age of Gods, that pits men against Gods and asks if the flappable human spirit is strong enough to overcome insurmountable power.

BOOK BLURB:

Nearly a millennium has passed since the words were spoken—

A millennium since the Gods last waged war across the planet.

In their stead, the impassable mists isolate everyone within.

Now, suffering a years-long winter, deafening whispers of their divine return echo across the lands of Aria and beyond. Under the shadow of imminent war, seven mortals control the world’s destiny:

The blacksmith’s apprentice, whose memories are shrouded in dreams;

The cunning thief, sole survivor of her village’s eradication;

The fledgling priestess, whose faith in the light weakens by the day;

The mute barkeep, strength forged by undying devotion;

The Scholar King, whose power is born of wisdom;

The High Priestess, whose words are nearly law;

And the upstart General, whose voice can send a kingdom to war.

Behold the power of the Gods;

Beware the strength of mortals.

The words must not be spoken.
