An epic fantasy series crafted for all those who, as children, never found reflections of themselves in the pages of a Fairy Tale. World-building for a new generation — where anyone can be the hero, love knows no limits, and magic thrives unrestricted by prejudice. What if there was more to the world than you knew? What if magic truly existed? How far would you go to uncover the truth? If one were to ask a Balincian about the origin of their land or the construction of their laws, no one would be able to share anything of substance except to acknowledge it always existed. Admittedly, they also shared no desire to investigate it further. It was meaningless to question what was— when what is —is all one would ever need to know. Balincians were granted provision and purpose by the twin witches who ruled from the floating isles of Chaos and Order. Majestic mountains and cascading waterfalls surrounded their home; every aspect of their life was idyllic and catered, leaving no one to want. What more did one need? Curiosity only led to questions. Questions might lead to discomfort, and that might lead to confrontation. Confrontation might upset balance, and balance was everything. Enter Birk, the witches' nephew and a young Storyteller, whose life turns upside down when a mysterious stranger presents him with a magical book needing an author. As Birk uncovers the shocking truth that the world he knows is a fraction of a far grander reality, he sets out on an epic quest to delve into his aunt's hidden past. Joined by a new generation of witches, he teams up with Zara, a fearless warrior princess; Grey, a gentle soul with a secret; and Thalon, the arrogant heir of the Elven Witch. Carrying the weight of their ancestors' choices, they race against time to prevent a dark prophecy. Hunted by their evil aunt and her horde of arcanivores, they must avoid the mistakes of their parents in their search for the truth. Will Birk and his new allies succeed in this high-stakes battle for the future of their world? Or will the cost of truth be higher than they are willing to pay?
