The Living Light: from Gods to Ashes - Paperback

by Taliesin J. de Launey (Author)

"THE LIVING LIGHT: FROM GODS TO ASHES by Taliesin J. De Launey blends mythic and mystic elements of several cultures in a landscape of stark and unexpected contrasts, to fashion a marvelous tale of high fantasy set in The Outlands, a magical landscape inhabited by some of the most intriguing and entertaining rogues I've ever come across. It's a potent brew that had me alternately shivering in cosmic terror, breathless in anticipation of the next twist, and overcome by gales of laughter."

-Stefan Rudnicki, Grammy Award-winning narrator known for Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game and the works of Robert Silverberg, whose voice brings The Living Light to life.

Brand, a jaded, fast-talking ex-thief with a shaky moral compass and a total disbelief in magic, and his unlikely companions embark on a fast-paced, bizarre, humorous, and at times terrifying adventure through an immersive yet decadent fantasy world set 2.5 million years ago on Earth.

Said companions include: Cil, a female gladiator, equally rugged, beautiful, and cantankerous; Berengar, a gigantic northerner, equal parts lighthearted, ridiculous, murderous, and profound; and Alucard, a two-foot-tall fish-man magical experiment, who happens to be the only one able to master the art of magic.

The Living Light: From Gods to Ashes is full of immoral, quirky humans; innocent yet deadly monsters; and a rigid magical system with a dark moral flaw at its core. A blend of dark fantasy adventure, absurdist humor, cosmic mystery, and sword-swinging action, listeners will be engrossed in realistic and enjoyable small-talk moments weaved into a grand, world-building tapestry.
