Publisher's Synopsis
The archipelago of Aethelgard, once a proud realm of seven kingdoms, is crumbling under the weight of a terrifying, ancient evil. From the depths of a sunken city, a cosmic entity stirs, unleashing monstrous Tideborn and Deep Ones upon the land. As the seas rise and doomed kingdoms fall, a desperate alliance forms, uniting the unlikeliest of heroes.
Kaelen, the exiled prince of a fallen kingdom, seeks to reclaim his birthright and unite the scattered forces of humanity. Rhea, a heretic priestess haunted by her past, offers forbidden knowledge of the ancient gods and the corrupted magic that fuels their enemy. Torvin, a pragmatic chieftain from the northern isles, commands the fierce warriors of Northpoint, his people hardened by a life of constant struggle. Their only hope lies in mastering an ancient weapon, a power tied to forgotten rituals and sonic frequencies. But the entity whispers, its cosmic dread seeping into the minds of the vulnerable, promising power in exchange for servitude. As they navigate treacherous alliances, political intrigue, and the horrors of a drowning world, they must confront not only the sea monsters that plague the surface but also the darkness that threatens to consume them from within. This epic fantasy saga plunges into a world of grimdark fantasy and Lovecraftian horror, where moral ambiguity reigns, and sacrifice is the only currency that can buy a chance at salvation. Explore the Norse fantasy inspired world of The Sunken Kingdoms, where impending doom hangs heavy in the air, and the whispers from the deep promise the end of all things.
