Celestera
The Holy Kingdom of Udeon finds itself embroiled in a secret cult’s uprising. Prince Seraphil begins a journey to uncover the cult with his royal magical advisor Magnus, only for them to be captured at journeys start. Thrown into a test of survival like no other, they cross paths with a wandering monk named Arytis, and together work through their distrust to escape the otherworldly dungeon.
Survival isn’t their only concern though. As the mystery of the dungeon unravels, they uncover connections to a powerful wizard that went missing a decade prior. Is this wizard behind these abductions? What is the connection to the cult? No matter where this trio finds themselves, it seems that nothing is mere coincidence.

This first book in a fantasy series drops you right into the action as our three main characters wake up disoriented and unsure of where they are. Through their distinct voices and points of view we learn about the world and some of their pasts that brought them together. I was excited to keep reading each chapter through the next character's eyes as each one felt so different from one another, Seraphil, Magnus, and Arytis, having very different backgrounds, mannerisms, and things they focus on or notice in a room for example. Each chapter also brought new challenges as our poor characters could not catch a break! (I loved the pacing, this author kept things moving).
This world has magic, monsters, dungeons, and puzzles, all the things you want in a fantasy world. Not to mention the queer rep too! Also, all the beautiful art interspersed within brings to life critical moments of the story.
I can't wait for the series to continue as there is obviously a lot going on in the world overall that the characters have yet to discover and the author has put a lot of time into building and planning out.
Thank you to the author for the advance review copy!
