“Only the dead have seen the end of war.” ― Plato

Belythna Arran is a sorceress.

Belythna is one of the Sentorân, an order charged with the protection of Palâdnith – a land that has seen too much blood-shed in its history. She pledged, at the age of thirteen, to dedicate her life to the Sentorân – but as the years pass she begins to realise that the walls of Deep-Spire, the order’s stronghold, have become a prison.

Once, powerful and respected, the order has fallen into stagnation.

The rulers of Paladnith no longer seek their council, and the people view the sorcerers with distrust.

However, the greatest threat to the Sentorân, and everything they stand for, comes from within.

Riadamor, an ambitious young sorceress, rebels against the order. Her act is a catalyst for a series of events that bring the Sentorân to the edge of doom.

Belythna, who entered the order at the same time as Riadamor, struggles to come to terms with a changing world, and her place in it. As Deep-Spire edges towards war, she must decide who she really is, and where her loyalties lie.  

DEEP-SPIRE sets the scene for the first novel in the Palâdnith Chronicles, JOURNEY OF SHADOWS (Shortlisted for the Sir Julius Vogel Awards, 2014). DEEP-SPIRE is a tale of duty, choice and self-discovery.

DEEP-SPIRE will be available soon on Amazon Kindle. Watch this space!
