When the Light Returns...

by Michael D. Nadeau

The nations on the continent of Alian'tir have been divided for centuries. Petty wars, squabbles over borders, and even prejudice run rampant in these times as folk go about their daily lives, yet an ancient darkness is finally ready to reveal itself again.

Alant Landsir is a squire aspiring to be a Knight of the Realm, yet fate has other plans for the young hero. After being attacked by a dark knight out of myth, Alant is thrust into a position of prophecy, rushing to save his land from the coming evil and figure out a way to unite the people of Alian'tir against this rising darkness. Thankfully he is not alone.

On the other side of the continent, the female dwarf, Falgrim, is also thrown into the middle of this growing darkness. With her new companions, she rides to the capital of Llor, yet evil is one step ahead of them. Will the heroes of Alian'tir rise to meet this ancient and powerful menace, or will the people fall to the darkness? Only fate knows what will happen When the Light Returns...

About the author

Born in the usual way, I found fantasy at the age of 8 in the game Dungeons and Dragons. I loved being different people, races, and especially casting magic. I found that I could be anything and by the late 90's I also found reading. My favorite teacher had given me her personal books to bring home and I couldn't get enough. Soon I had even more ways to explore the great worlds out there, and it was harder and harder to come back.
So finally when I was much older, and had created and destroyed more worlds than I could count, I decided to delve into the literary world. I finished My first book and just kept writing. In 2018, I was signed by Kyanite Publishing, and I'm up to my first trilogy and several short stories. So the quest continues, and I keep writing, and playing.
