The Chains of Fate - A Novel of Avonia

By A.A. Night

The continent of Avonia is vast and wild, its dark history steeped in conquest and genocide. The Allied Avonian Kingdom has established a tenuous peace across the region through open commerce and free trade, but the militaristic Reignland threatens to supplant the Kingdom's feudalistic republicanism with its own brand of tyrannical authority. All the while the Thousand Kings of the Southern Reaches lie in hungry wait, anxious to devour the victor's scraps. While the great powers of Avonia busy themselves squabbling over riches, an ancient evil rises in the east. DarHel, a boy of the reclusive Kharar, is born cursed, bringing ruin to his people. Reviled and cast out, DarHel must embark upon a surreal spiritual journey to purify his soul, lest he succumb to the sentient Darkness stirring within him. A bloody antihero's journey through a squalid dystopia; a psychedelic exploration of pantheistic cosmology; a cautionary fable of self-fulfilling prophecy and the horrors of abuse: The Chains of Fate wears many cloaks, but beneath them all is a tale of the extraordinary faculty of love, and hate, to shape the world around us.
