The elemental cult has executed its treasonous plan, and the Queen of Kalleron is no more. Despite the odds, the King lives on, summoning the great General Aracyse to issue him with a chilling command. Across the ocean, living in exile, Petra and her crew are blind to his brutal ambitions. Lulled into a sense of security, whispers of spies and rumours of a white witch rock Petra’s idyllic world. The elemental powers have returned, and war threatens the northern shores. Blood will flow. Tears will fall. Eternity awaits.

The destroyer of nations is rising; the Queen of Kalleron threatens devastation and ruin to all who oppose the will of the King. But her purpose is not what it seems. An elemental cult knows the wicked truth, and they plan to free the world from her terrible spell. Lured into their seditious plot on a promise of revelations, Petra becomes a pawn in a dangerous game of heartless gods and human legends. Following in her lover’s footsteps, she discovers the darkest secrets of Kalleron, a world of treachery and treason, love and hate.

For one man, love is a riddle hidden behind a veil of delusions and reality; a self-medicating psychiatrist, a bitter misogynist called frank, and Sean, the talking blue tiger. He’s pretty sure the cat’s not real, but what about the girl of his dreams? What about Jenny? Can she save his soul before the illness spirals out of control? This is Glasgow, and this is not a love story.

Time’s shadow dulls even the greatest legends, but when an Elemental child arrives at his door, an old King rises to face his final destiny. Chara—abandoned by her godlike mother—is a fragile gem with onyx skin and a heart of diamond. Swearing to keep her safe, and with brutal hammer in hand, the King and child set off on an incredible journey, the consequences of which will forever change the face of Earth.
