Norhill burned.  It crumbled, and like all good empires, it left behind a royal mess.  But that was a human concern, and Glisinda deep in the Forest paid no heed to Wizards and nations.  To save her twin, she would become unique – a pariah.  To save her sleeping friend, Talia, she would murder.  To the east, Marcellus the callous Blademaster walked into battle, into slavery, into confrontation with the bloodthirsty god of the icy Fault.  Yet elsewhere, Benjamin the Noble and his cousin the crown princess fought to save downtrodden Elsia from enemies without and within.  Disparate threads, lost souls, who by the grace of Athos might come together for a Redemption Song before the Havoc consumes them all.  Redemption Song is a romantic fantasy novel following four strangers bound by chance and a rogue goddess to confront the corrupt masters of a broken world.  It is adult oriented with a central homosexual relationship and themes of forgiveness and finding one's purpose. ====== This was my first true novel, written over my first year of college at 18 years old. It has its charm to it, all that enthusiasm of youth. At the same time, its kind of cluttered and struggles to find a voice amidst all the threads. Please enjoy. You will see much here that echoes into my later works.
