Aurum
DELUXE EDITION Premium hardcover format, unique variant cover, exclusive FayeWorlds library samples, full character bios & lore artwork, author's thoughts. Hate takes many forms... as does strife.
Split between the brutality of savages and the oppression of tyrants, Aurum faces both loss and civil war without end. As the Triumvirate rules with an iron fist from their self-proclaimed cities of the future, the Stormkrah warriors seek to turn the land itself into a husk where only the strong are worthy to survive.
But even the rebels and cowards who flee into the wilderness cannot escape the all-engulfing conflict as the threat of violence soon comes to a secluded village in the form of an abandoned and hateful soldier. After years of brutality and death carried out by her hands, Aura must now face those very same judgements as a victim of her own ruthless ideology and feel torment where she once felt absolute righteousness.
Aurum is a political fantasy novel set in a WW2 inspired era seeking to tell the tales of six individuals trapped in a cold war between opposing extremes. Struggling to survive the dying land itself, these people must confront the darkest aspects of every varied virtue and ideal they've ever believed in while under threat of both personal pain and death.
When all is tyranny and hopelessness, only truth will set them free... And above all, truth is nothing but fire and a fall.
