Two worlds in two universes are on the brink of destruction. Both will burn. Connecting them and their shared fate is a linked past, a magical thread of light and a tear in the fabric of space.
Separating them is a great barrier of Chaos and it threatens to invade and extinguish all life.
Is there anyone out there able to prevent eternal darkness?
Valaris is threatened by the dara-witch Infinity and beyond Ardosia the Darak Or Margus watches for the perfect opportunity to annihilate a world and its people. Both will use Chaos as a weapon of ultimate manipulation.
When Taranis of the Guardians is summoned to witness what will happen to Valaris should Ardosia fail and is forced to endure the Chaos barrier, he understands the Guardians need a sorcerer of extraordinary power to step forth.
Rayne of the Mantle meanwhile travels to Farinwood to find the magician Aven to confirm rumours of Infinity’s presence on Valaris. He isn’t prepared for what he actually finds. Changeling children bent on murder, a secret Society of Sorcerers, the mysterious waif Averroes…and the Maghdim Medaillon, the magical coin that creates a thread of light between two realms.
Rayne dreams of a little girl from another world crying for help and cannot fathom how that is likely, until he meets the Guardians in the Great Forest of Valaris. When they reveal the presence of a tear in space, Rayne understands he is being gathered to fulfil his destiny…
And on Ardosia a little girl awakes from a nightmare, screaming: ‘It will all burn, daddy!’
Another awakes, a legendary figure from the forgotten past, creator of the Maghdim Medaillon, the true ruler of both Valaris and Ardosia. His time is now.
There is a darkness coming.
Genre: FICTION / Fantasy / EpicThe Infinity Mantle has recently been republished after the rights were returned to me. Sales rank has been up and down as it finds its new place, with its best performance sitting at 800 in Post-Apocalyptic Science Fiction/Fantasy.
In a time now passed beyond memory, a man whispered over a golden disc as he set it into a vice.
Vannis of the Valleur lifted an engraving tool to mark the first glyph. He murmured the words of an ancient enchantment, a repeated rhythm, until it was perfect, and whispered more as he polished. It took time, many months, and he rushed nothing. He spoke of it to no one. Only when the time was right would he reveal his handiwork.
This man possessed the tools and skills to achieve his goal, as well as the voice that was impetus and creation. To infuse inanimate gold, to gift atoms sensitivity, to compel unassailable eternity, required tone, repetition and emotion.
Imperative was emotion, for it determined the ultimate nature of the infused device. If fashioned in anger, the consequence was an instrument capable of confusion; indifference led to instability, hate to darkness, mockery to deception, egotism to arrogance, and love to illumination and enlightenment.
Vannis intended only love.
The Supreme Wisdom - the Maghdim Medaillon - of the Valleur was made tangible and it was beautiful. On the day he laid it in a protective casket, he thought, I am done now. The future is secure.
He was wrong.

Author review: Thoroughly enjoyed working with Andrea. Very professional, meets deadlines and goes the extra mile. For example, a map included in my manuscript needed to be translated also, and Andrea did so. She keeps original formatting, which is a bonus when it come to the final version. I would definitely work with her on future projects! |
