Dark Matters

by A.J. Culpepper

On the island of Melasistos there is a Gate to ThiarImeall, the Realm of Elemental Water. Not far on the other side, there is the Three Doors, gateways to the other three 'Imeall. The island itself its archipelago, and the territory of the Three Doors in ThiarImeall have been held by the Arachni cluster, Aioniotita, since the dawn of the First Turning of the World.

For eons wars have been waged on the Aioniotita Cluster in ThiarImeall. For thousands of years, the powers in the South Oxus Sea have done the same.

Because whoever holds the island of Melasistos holds the key to power in the South Oxus Sea and across the 'Imeall and the Arachni of Aioniotita are being pushed to the brink of destruction.

After millennia of war fueled by racial division and xenophobia, the Shamiran king of Lamperi Aspida proposed an alliance with the warlord of the Aioniotita Cluster, Nyx Aioniotita - the Spider King. An alliance to be sealed with the marriage of his daughter, Chryssa, to the warlord on her twentieth birthday.

It has been nineteen years...

Thrown in the middle of an agreement made concerning her future while she was still an infant, Chryssa must learn to bridge her people and world to that of the Spider King. She must learn truth from lies, friend from foe, and how to navigate the treacherous waters of dark matters.
