Lightfall

When Dragons Die #1

by K. Scott Lewis

The Black Dragon’s death shatters the faerie realms of the Otherworld. From its fragments, a new elven race emerges in the god-infested lands of Ahmbren.


Aradma is born from light on the frozen slopes of Windbowl, emerging as a grown woman with nothing more than the broken memories of a dead faerie people. She is taken by trolls and heralded as the long-awaited priestess of the Moon Goddess, where she is forced to choose between the truth of the natural world and the intoxicating lure of their Matriarch’s adoration. Aradma must pierce the lies of a goddess before her lover murders half her tribe.


Meanwhile, the immortal God-King who ruled the Artalonian Empire for a thousand years sacrificed himself to defeat the Black Dragon. The Archmage who raised the God-King to power now mourns his loss, even as he falls to madness and threatens to break the very world he saved.

About the author

K. Scott Lewis was born in California to Navy parents, and then moved all over the place such that when asked as an adult, "Where are you from?", he shrugs and says, "the U.S." He graduated from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology with a B.S. in Computer Science and then entered the Air Force to do somewhat computer-sciencey types of things and continue the habit of moving every few years. His personal interests took him into comparative religion, philosophy, and world mythology when he wasn't reading science-fiction or fantasy for entertainment. Tolkien's appendices and maps inspired him to world-craft as a hobby, which later grew into writing as a past-time while deployed. When he's not writing, he's composing music on piano and electric guitar, which he sees as another means of evoking stories.
