That questio…","html":"WHAT DOES ONE DO AFTER THE WORLD ENDS?

That question plagues every imperial citizen after the destruction of the capital city of Percepliquis. How three pivotal people answer will determine the course of the world of Elan’s future: one will come to understand that she was spared for a reason; another will resolve to become the ruler he was meant to be; and the third will risk everything to discover the fate of the nefarious wizard known as Esrahaddon. In this first book of a trilogy, a new era arises. Come to witness the trials and turmoil of a fading dream, but stay because one last hope struggles to bloom . . . out of the ashes.

In her debut novel, Lorian Ellis — a devotee of bestselling author Michael J. Sullivan — proves why he was wise to trust a complete unknown with a portion of his beloved multi-series epic. In the After the Fall trilogy, you'll uncover yet another panel in the tapestry that is The Elan Saga and witness the birth of a rising literary star.

While set in the interconnected world of Elan, this novel is designed as an independent story. You don't need to read any of the other thirty books in the saga, you'll just want to.
