Embrace the (B)light…
It has been fifty years since the sun died over Ashathar.

Blaike was born in the blight. As one of the “touched” he is devoid of power.

He is forbidden from following the Lightweaver Path.

The “touched” still serve the brightlands, working the mines to extract sunstone; to deliver it to the Lightweavers, the saviors, preservers, and rulers of Ashathar.

The largest sunstone ever extracted from the mines has been found. It could empower the brightlands for months. When it is discovered that someone stole the sunstone’s power, Blaike is exiled from the brightlands. Was he really to blame? Can he survive the blight? Or, is there a larger threat than the Lightweavers ever realized that could destroy Ashathar once and for all?

But appearances can be deceptive. Dante holds a gift that catapults him above all others on earth. An ability so astounding, so magnificent, it can barely be fathomed. His paintings aren’t just pretty depictions on canvas.

They are entire worlds…
