In the oppressive theocracy of Aeridor, pleasure is heresy. The Ascended, warriors inked with sacred scripture, enforce the dogma of bodily denial. Saint-General Kael, a paragon of zealous purity, is tasked with eradicating the Whispering Chorus, a heretical sect that embraces the sanctity of touch. He envisions their leader, Mirana, as a succubus, their sanctuary a den of iniquity. But the reality he discovers in the sun-kissed coastal haven of Azima shatters his preconceptions. 

Mirana is not the monster he expected, but a healer of quiet strength, her amethyst eyes reflecting a wisdom that both unsettles and captivates him. He captures her easily, but her serene defiance binds him with invisible chains, igniting a disquiet that challenges his deepest convictions. Their interactions in her seaside tower evolve from tense interrogations to shared moments of vulnerability. Mirana’s teachings unravel Kael’s tightly wound faith, revealing a path to the divine through the very sensations his Order condemns.

But their forbidden connection stirs unrest within the Citadel. Deacon Theron, a zealot driven by rigid dogma, sees Mirana as a threat and Kael’s growing affection as sacrilege. He fans the flames of dissent, turning Kael’s quest for truth into an act of betrayal, setting the stage for a holy war that threatens to tear Aeridor apart. Torn between the dogma etched into his skin and the burgeoning love in his heart, Kael must choose a side. His decision will not only determine his fate and Mirana’s, but the future of Aeridor itself. Will he cling to the rigid doctrines of the Ascended or embrace the whispers of his heart, risking everything for a love that could redeem a nation?

Chronicles of Aeridor

Whispers of Heresy: A Saint's Reckoning

Melinda Hartman

Seventeen-year-old Naya lives on a crumbling islet in the archipelago of Aeridor, a world drowning in fear and the rising tide. Her grandmother's tales of the monstrous Sea Witch, Moira, haunt Naya’s dreams. But a hidden conch shell, pulsating with ethereal light, whispers a different story—Moira’s story.

Suddenly, Naya is plunged into Moira’s vibrant memories: a healer deeply connected to the sea, her love for Finnigan, the fisherman, and the venomous jealousy of Liam, a power-hungry council member. Witness the idyllic Aeridor of the past, before Liam's lies twisted Moira’s healing touch into accusations of dark magic, before a terrified council condemned her to the sea, her form warped into the monstrous siren of legend.

The conch awakens within Naya echoes of Moira’s power, a seductive force drawing the attention of Kaia Ballard, a ruthless warlord obsessed with controlling Aeridor’s vital sea lanes. Ancient sea spirits, awakened by the resurgence of the siren's magic, add to the escalating tension, their motives as murky as the depths they inhabit.

Guided by cryptic maps and the conch’s whispered memories, Naya joins forces with Rebecca Sullivan, a grizzled historian haunted by past regrets. Together, they uncover the council's lies, revealing a conspiracy that spans generations. But as Moira’s power grows within Naya, so does the risk of becoming the very monster she seeks to redeem. 

Caught between a power-hungry warlord, ancient sea spirits, and the ghosts of the past, Naya must navigate a treacherous path to expose the truth. The rising tide, a physical manifestation of her people’s guilt, becomes a constant reminder of the stakes. Can Naya clear Moira’s name and heal a fractured world, or will she succumb to the siren’s curse and become the last dance of the Sea Witch?

The Last Dance of the Sea Witch: A Siren's Tale Retold

Brendan Castillo

In Aeridor, maps are not just drawings; they are living magic, capable of shaping the very landscapes they depict. When renowned cartographer Rohen Veld is tasked with charting the mythical Whisperwind Valley, his meticulous work takes a terrifying turn. The ink on his map comes alive, whispering prophecies of shifting rivers, rising mountains, and the fiery destruction of his home, Aethelgard.

Desperate to rewrite fate, Rohen’s every alteration unleashes unforeseen consequences, erasing loved ones and places from existence. He’s plunged into a world haunted by spectral Mapmakers, sentient beings who claim authorship of his reality, and pursued by Silas Thorne, a ruthless collector obsessed with the map's power. Meanwhile, Elara Moss, Rohen's childhood friend, witnesses the unsettling changes in Aethelgard and begins her own desperate search for answers, her path ultimately converging with Rohen’s within the treacherous Whisperwind Valley. As Rohen delves deeper, he uncovers the tragic tale of Benjamin Reid, a long-forgotten cartographer consumed by the same dangerous ambition: the seductive lure of control over a living world.

The Whisperwind Valley itself mirrors the ever-shifting landscape of the map, blurring the lines between creator and creation. Within its depths, Rohen confronts his own identity, questioning whether he is master cartographer or merely a figure drawn into being. His journey forces him to confront the ethical implications of his creation, leading him down a path of self-discovery and a dawning awareness of the interconnectedness of all things.

With the unique, interactive element of fold-out maps that transform within the book itself, you become a part of Rohen’s increasingly surreal predicament. Rivers divert, mountains rise, and cities crumble in your hands as you witness the terrifying power of a living map. At the heart of it all lies a devastating choice: accept the map’s predetermined future or risk the annihilation of both worlds in a desperate rebellion. Discover the magic and danger of creation in *The Cartographer's Rebellion*, where the lines between reality and imagination blur, and the power of a single stroke can reshape the world.
