Twenty ages later, Koriath learns that his abusive ex-wife Malencia has been slowly spinning her webs of revenge against him and his allies when Kurai is targeted by one of Malencia's demonic servants. He spills his ability to have a peaceful death and is no longer the immortal Guardian of Darkness\ \ Koriath's soul is still not free, and with a war-weary people and an elder council distracted by the Princesses of Darkness' becoming of age; he turns to Hokulani for aid fending off against the Realm of Light's genocide campaign, while he tries to save his daughters from the same politics that put Malencia in power, and knocking at their plane's shield barriers. While Koriath gathers old allies, Malencia secures new ones as well as maintains closeness to Evil Incarnate. She will stop at nothing to get back her only victim who has managed to escape. He has more than his soul and his empire to lose if he fails. ***Dear Reader,*** *Like book one, this one tackles equally dark and tragic themes, though not all will be the same. Some of the content to be warned on is violence of religion, lust, and war, heavy alcohol use, villains who draw parallels to horrible historic and present day campaigns, and more. Reader discretion is advised.* *On the positive side, to balance there are two romance subplots, and my hope is this ends as a cathartic or fulfilling release of emotions and thoughts. I am also working on genre blending both fantasy and science fiction, as the light tends to be science and the magic tends to be darkness. Speaking of thoughts, speak up anytime and let me know your thoughts. Readers have the power to create meaningful change before things are published.* *Enjoy.* *\~Corbie De La Luna*

Sapphyra used to have it all. Great super-genius husband, great job as a superhero. She even got along with her dragon side. Really, nothing could go wrong for her. Until it did. When the world faced a threat she couldn’t punch, she tried to make the ultimate sacrifice so everything and everyone she ever loved could flee. But Wyatt, her husband with plans for his backup plans, wouldn’t allow it. He trapped her inside a digital coma, intent on waking her up when everything settled down. That was 100 years ago. When Sapphyra finally rips herself free from the nightmare, she finally sees the extent of the damage done to her city. Not just her city either. Her body has been twisted, her powers and dragon side locked away behind a Class System—something Wyatt placed inside her. It only gets worse from here. Guy, a charming labrador-energy man she met inside her coma is in the real world, with real feelings she’s returning. Oh and Wyatt? He separated his mind from his body, and now his consciousness follows Sapphyra around the broken city like a bad hangover. He’s less than thrilled to have competition for his wife but without a body, he’s screwed. As if an awkward love triangle and rebuilding a city weren’t enough on her plate, Sapphyra has to deal with a familiar face. Rupert Domingo, the madman who also escaped her digital nightmare now taunts her with all the answers she’s asking for…as long as she plays his game first. Sapphyra will have to navigate her new powers, her growing list of lovers and her grief with Wyatt if she wants to stand any chance of winning Ruperts game and fixing her city once and for all.

Peace shatters as the FADES Crisis threatens the lives of the Silvarii. Their glittering bodies are turning to dust and the Pure Melody is shattering. For the Silvarii, the blame falls squarely on King Jethran because his magic filled Evenhere with color four years prior. To save Fable's people, the Kings must take separate paths for the first time since they met. Fable returns to Silvarii Hollow with Martier at his side, stepping back into a home torn by fear. There, manipulative opportunists twist tradition into a weapon. Fable must transform their collective grief into a force strong enough to unite the very people who once rejected him. Jethran and Saga, Fable's traditionalist sister, set out in search of the Pixxels of Power, the primordial creators and source of all elements. Raised to distrust outsiders and resent the colors Jethran sang into the world, Saga must learn to accept the King. She finds every belief she's ever been taught challenged when they are joined by Stanza, a brilliant Colorista who slowly weaves her way into Saga's heart. As the FADES accelerates, the young rulers uncover the devastating truth that this is no natural illness. Former enemies, believed to have fallen with the Gray Order, have returned, determined to restore the aesthetics of the old world at any cost. While Fable plans to defend his home against the faces of the past, Jethran discovers that the reality of his existence is far more than he could have ever believed. The survival of Evenhere will require more than restoring what was lost. It will require embracing the unpredictable beauty of what the Kingdom can become once truly united. This second book in *The Shards of Color Trilogy* expands the world of Evenhere while giving an intimate view of the colorful characters fighting for its future. *A Faded Quest* stands as its own story, offering a clean entry for new readers and rewarding returning readers with a deepened emotional history behind the world they already know.
