Synopsis

In the world of Tomebound, books are at the heart of all world events, and nations wage war over their sacred tomes. Several diverse characters navigate tumultuous times after the assassination of the world’s most powerful monarch, Hierophant Drakhman Sanzeen; his orphaned daughter Lanor grapples with the Testament, her nation Qarda’s holy founding text, as she is thrust into power at just fifteen. The royal servant boy Cadas Lars writes his own book of naturalistic knowledge, the Compendium, as he tries to find his own peace in a world that thinks rather differently than he does. Grackenwell's sadistic Prince Kimbel discovers a book that threatens his claim to the throne. Young Prince Lucanh of Dridon studies the enigmatic Triptych diligently, but what he really wants to do is become a knight and battle his kingdom’s enemies—a wish that may soon be granted. Beam, a mysterious prophetess in Grackenwell, carries with her the Gospel of Lucence, a tome of incredible magic. Will she survive what her god Ah-Ren asks of her? Finally, teen twin sisters Akona and Styri, two hired killers from Myrenthos, embark on a perilous journey home that takes them across the known world and beyond. These six plots are all intricately interwoven in an epic story of global proportions and world-altering consequences, with a twist few readers will see coming. - Tomebound is complete at 184,000 words.
