Elara and the Realm of Returning Light: A myth of imperfection and renewal
Not yet published
Expected 9 Dec 25When the forgotten Realm begins to unravel, four strangers are summoned by the long-silent Council to face the Trials of a dying world. Among them is Elara, a quiet chronicler whose gift for truth runs deeper than she knows. Guided by the enigmatic Velcryn, she and her companions journey through lands where even light hesitates—discovering that centuries ago, the Council sought to create perfection by erasing all conflict and sorrow.
Their creation, the Shadow, devoured imperfection—and with it, life’s motion itself. Now the Realm stands on the edge of stillness, waiting for someone who can remember what it means to change.
Elara’s words hold that power. To restore balance, she must embrace the sacred flaw at the heart of creation and let the world breathe again.
Elara and the Realm of Returning Light is a lyrical fantasy of renewal, transformation, and the courage to see beauty in what was never meant to be perfect.

Rick Allen is a writer, photographer, AAUS scientific diver, and PADI Divemaster. He’s collected data for oceanographic researchers, fed sharks by hand, and loves seeing bioluminescence when scuba diving at night.

Exploring the forests and lakes of Southwest Michigan as a young boy nurtured Rick's love of ecology. He now lives in Southern California with his wife, daughter, and orange tabby cat. He enjoys telling stories that promote outdoor play and self-learning. The heroines in his books are designed around creating strong female adventurers for his daughter to look up to.
