the Children of Wrath: A Chronicle Gods and Men

When the mist rose from the sea, the villages of the eastern cliffs fell silent.The Children of the Wrath is a dark, mythic fantasy chronicling the first recorded appearance of the vampyric plague-creatures not born of the living, but of the unquiet dead whose fire was twisted during the ancient war between gods.Told across three interwoven accounts, the book follows: - the destruction of Cliffs' Bottom, where voices in the fog heralded a massacre without witnesses, - the doomed investigation that uncovered graves drained of life itself, - and the siege of Castle Durnholde, where fire held back the darkness for a single night.At the heart of the record stand Lyros, one of the Three Wizards who walked the world after the Wrath, and Lucas, a scholar whose journals would shape the fate of a kingdom. Their testimony-alongside the final writings of villagers, elders, and soldiers-forms the foundation of a document that would later ignite the Great Purge.Written in the voice of a chronicler and presented as a recovered historical account, The Children of the Wrath blends epic fantasy, cosmic myth, and restrained horror. There are no heroes untouched by fear, no victories without cost-only fire, memory, and the knowledge that what was driven back was not destroyed.The volume includes original black-and-white chapter illustrations and an epilogue written during the reign of King Alaric II, preserving the last surviving testimony of the night the realm learned what hunted it.The fire held for a night. But night will fall again.
