Legends of Iathia

For nearly two thousand years, the races of Iathia have survived in isolation, sheltering from the endless winter that followed the Calamity — an asteroid impact that tore the veil between the physical and spiritual realms. Now the ice is receding. The races are meeting for the first time. And the Essence that seeped through the torn veil is changing everything.

Think the grit of Nightlord and He Who Fights With Monsters, the found-family warmth of Eragon, and the political depth of Codex Alera. Clean language throughout — the cultures have their own expressive curses that carry weight without profanity.

Dark but hopeful — suffering has purpose, sacrifice has meaning, and light endures even in deep shadow.
