A Faded Quest

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.
