Guardians of Destiny
Louise Briony Hallam
In the beginning there was only Chaos. When Time had no meaning, the world lay suspended in a cold, dark place. Existence was dormant, with no past or future, and no Fate. Then, in a single moment, a piercing shaft of Light broke through the eternal dark. Pure and brilliant, The Light of Being seared through the emptiness. As the first light hit the surface of the world the Darkness receded, and the new world of Asteria burst forth. Life flourished across its lands and with the coming of life, Destiny was created. Confronted with the supreme power of the Light of Being, Chaos could only hide in the deepest places of the world, and in the corner of the blackest souls. Yet Chaos would not bow down in defeat. The resentment of Chaos knew no bounds and Darkness was ever patient. While still existent in this world, Chaos would never stop vying to regain domination. For ever it has been. Spanning all of Time, and encompassing all the worlds we know, The Light of Being and Chaos, the two most powerful forces in the universe, locked in an ongoing struggle. We, as people of this land, hold faith in Destiny, created by the Light, and in whose steady hands rests the fate of Asteria. May he protect us from Chaos within this world and from that which hides within ourselves. Letharnian legend from the First Age. Guardians of Destiny: Book One Stone of Souls Trilogy by Louise Briony Hallam. For lovers of classic epic fantasy with powerful world-building and slow burn romance. Full story spans three books. “May Destiny protect us from Darkness within this world and from that which hides within ourselves.” Destiny had made a mistake. The four realms of Asteria have been plunged into decades of drought, its people are desperate and scattered. War is imminent after a thousand years of peace, and the renowned Seers of the Isle of Sea and Sky are heralding “The Coming”. The legendary Shadow Master, infused with the power of Chaos, is rumoured to walk the land once again. To protect the future, Destiny must send his two Guardians of Light to the Mortal Realm with almost impossible quests. Dorien must find a woman with no face or name, who disappeared over a millennium ago. Only she can unlock the power of the Stone of Souls and bring back the rains. Alora’s task is to find the Stone, but first she needs to convince the mysterious and elusive Hunter to guide her, and she is not even sure he is mortal... With limited access to their powers, the Guardians find themselves increasingly drawn into a world of desire, darkness, and deception. Memories of their previous lives surface, revealing haunting truths that bind through the Ages: love, loyalty, betrayal, and revenge. As they journey through the four lands, they begin to question the identity of those who surround them, and their strange, emerging connection with the past. This book contains content that may be sensitive to some readers. Violence, Explicit Scenes, Fantasy Scenes, Murder and Gore. The content is recommended for ages 18+.
