Roots of Our Wraiths (Book 1: Baylorn)

"And so, dreams of places and quests faraway disseminated amongst the power of resolve, like white foam from the river rapids. Even long held dreams like Memara, or retaking Ostrava from the daemons, had to be forgotten. Dreams of blooming flowers, fuschia and magenta, were crushed under black mass." A young nobleman and an orphan girl face a city doomed to change. Though they do not know of each other, dark chthonic magic, political intrigue, and the spirit of free adventure will unite them to decide the fate of Baylorn. Alavric and Serava...what exactly ties thine like knots from complimentary cloths? One believes in security conquering chaos, while the other grasps for freedom and bright skies.  All the while, a vampiric nobleman builds an army of undead to retake his family manor, and an older man in his twilight years bargains with hope amidst a life of betrayal and regrets. A zealous army from the North led by a reborn sainte threatens to conquer the city. Sea-raiders from distant lands plunder what remain of the daemon-scourged countryside. Ultimately, how will Baylorn fight to survive amidst roving sea raiders and a zealous army at its doorstep? A dark fantasy, political intrigue book inspired by Soulsborne media and A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R Martin, crediting sparks from cultures around the world from the Ainu to the ancient Rus' principalities.
