Evenacht: Snake's Den

The Evening Lands Book 1

Read Snake's Den

Vantra, a Finder acolyte in the deathland of Evenacht, follows an anguished mental call for absolution. The silent plea comes from Captain Laken, a brazen butcher who slaughtered her Keel ancestors over four millennia ago. Death punished him for his earthly transgressions by sundering his spirit and hiding the parts across the Evenacht, and his head has languished in the Fields of the UnRedeemed ever since.
While he is ready for Redemption, he does not think Vantra is up to the quest to unite his shattered spirit. How does she expect to accomplish what millennia of seasoned Finders could not? Self-doubt creeps in, but she proceeds with the binding ritual, one that will keep his head with her until they can put his spirit back together.
Furious at her Choice, her mentor, Nolaris, interrupts the ritual and attacks her, sending her fleeing from her home with Laken and nothing else. She now must Redeem him without her tools or the backing of the Finder organization, a daunting task for someone on her first Redemption.
With few allies and heavy with misgivings and questions, Vantra proceeds on her journey to recover Laken's hidden essence. She firmly believes every spirit needs Redemption. Death's punishment should never be eternal. How far will she go, to Redeem the unRedeemable?

Evenacht: Greenglimmer

The Evening Lands Book 2

LIVE DEC 15

Greenglimmer, a dark and secretive part of the Elfiniti Rainforest, initially opens its arms to Vantra, Laken, and the mini-Joyful.
However, the port city, Selaserat, hides more than local corruption. Vantra discovers Sun acolytes have disappeared from the local temples. The local library's Finder-oriented texts are gone, and the Aristarsian quarter has suffered under burglaries targeting ghosts with known friendships with Qira.
The disappearances and thefts coincided with the arrival of a mysterious Finder band. The Finders' are not only a thorn in the city's side, but they have punctured and freed the angry hate that swirls in smaller, living communities who have, for eons, resented ghostly presences in the Elfiniti. Revenge-filled raids on farms and villages in the outskirts of Selaserat make searching for Laken's second essence more dangerous than expected. The disturbing misinformation the captured raiders spout hints at a long-standing deception poisoning their relationship with anything spirit-y.
Katta and Qira fear ex-deity Rezenarza has had a hand in undermining relations and sowing discontent. Kjaelle disagrees and points to an elfine from her past. Yeralis is angry, underhanded, and rich enough to pay others to cause harm in revenge for the slights he suffered at the hands of Selaserat's leaders.
On top of the local difficulties, the maze of rainforest plants, having grown and changed in the thousand years since Lorgan's last visit, has rendered his notes on landmarks and pathways through the trees obsolete. While this will inhibit their Knights of the Finders enemies from finding Laken's sundered essence, it also hinders them. The Sun Oracle, Machella, sends Badeçasyon techs to help in the search, claiming to have seen the future, but Vantra despairs they will not discover Laken's right arm before the Knights abscond with it.
Nothing is as it seems, in Greenglimmer, the second book in the Evenacht dark fantasy serial.
