Crystalline Kingdom: Origins series by Austin Baillio (#0,1-3)
Requirements: .ePUB Reader, 1022 KB
Overview: Austin Baillio was born and raised in Texas. He spent his youth reading comic books and reading fantasy novels. In high school, Austin actually hated writing and avoided it whenever possible. Wouldn't you know it, he ended up choosing a profession where he writes every single day. That's right--he's an attorney. (You thought I was going to say writer didn't you!). That's what makes Austin such an interesting author. During the day, he is frequently writing motions and briefs for complex legal cases. At night, Mr. Baillio enjoys escaping into the world of science fiction and fantasy, whether that be through reading, playing tabletop games, or creating new worlds and characters in his writing. Austin has lived in all kinds of places, including Seattle, Los Angeles, Costa Rica, San Antonio, and now Gilbert, Arizona. He lives there with his wife and three kids.
Genre: Fiction > Sci-Fi/Fantasy
0. The Origin Story
One man's quest for the Light leads his love to embrace the Darkness.
Pyritum feels drawn to the crystals he discovered in the caves by his home town. He is captivated by the light he senses pulsing within them. He is ready and willing to pay any cost to unlock their mysterious power.
However, in his quest to discover the Light within, he pushes his lover to embrace the Darkness that is slowly consuming her. Feeling neglected and abandoned, Azeria stops at nothing to seek revenge on Pyritum for his betrayal.
Each one embraces the power they have sacrificed to discover. The Light transforms Pyritum and his followers into crystal creatures of light and beauty. The Darkness twists Azeria and her followers into wraiths of mist and shadow. The conflict between them destroys their city and gives birth to the Crystalline Kingdom.
1. The Realm of Mist and Shadow
They are evil incarnate. Ruthless, remorseless, and sadistic. They play with human lives like sport. Those who dwell in the Realm of Mist and Shadow seek to infect your soul with the Darkness. If you resist, they will devour your body. There is no escaping the Shadow-Stalkers.
Bryggen is dragged bound and broken into the land of the Shadow-Stalkers where he is thrown into a deadly game of survival. He and eleven others, including his girlfriend Mya, must decide what they are willing to sacrifice to survive. Some resist the darkness and are destroyed. Some give in to the darkness and lose their souls.
As Bryggen and Mya make decisions that lead them to the end of the game, they meet the orchestrator of the games and the Master of their fate. As a final trial, the Master pits Bryggen and Mya against each other for the chance to escape the Realm of Mist and Shadows.
2. Darkness Stirs
Being born into a world of Light, Krysta has never known Darkness. She actually thinks it is a myth. But that is all about to change. Skryl, an agent of Darkness, has infiltrated Krysta's home and seeks to destroy the Light she has come to rely on.
Krysta loves her job as a Protector of the Great Wall that encircled the Crystalline Kingdom. Because of the efforts of her and the other guards before her, the Crystal Guardians have lived in peace for centuries. However, nothing lasts forever.
The forces of Darkness have sent one of their elite infiltrators, Skryl, to invade the Crystalline Kingdom and eradicate the Light. Skryl barely survives crossing the light-barrier guarding the Kingdom and must steal the life from a Crystal Guardian to regain his strength.
Unbeknownst to Krysta, she is unwittingly sucked into a deadly game of cat and mouse as Skryl fixates on her in an effort to consume her soul. Krysta can't shake the dark presence looming over her and Skryl can't stop feeding off of Krysta's fears, doubts, and weaknesses. Will Krysta survive or will she fall victim to the Darkness stirring inside the Crystalline Kingdom?
3. Visions of Darkness
Visions of death and destruction plague her mind. Why won't her nightmares stop? Try as she might, she can't escape them. She will do anything to be free of them.
Word spread that Erynidd has disturbing night terrors. Such unnatural occurrences got her labeled as a freak. Trying to escape her shame, she spent the last 5 years hiding from her past amid a run-down rock shop. However, her past catches up to her with the appearance of a handsome stranger, Bryggen. Their chance encounter forces Erynidd to confront her past, disrupting the life she has built.
To make matters worse, dead bodies are being discovered in the city in the same way Erynidd's nightmares have foretold. Erynidd must team up with the stranger, Bryggen, to unlock the ancient powers of their people's past and protect their city. Erynidd and Bryggen do all they can to prevent the Darkness from claiming their lives and destroying their home.
