Starfall (The Fables of Chaos Book 1)

All fables have an origin. 8,000 years ago, a great Cataclysm threatened all life on Eos. Its moon was fractured and strewn across the night sky, the oceans shifted and swallowed the lands, and the inhabitants across Eos were forced to fight other-wordly horrors as reality itself was torn asunder. Over time, their dark history has been long-forgotten, until signs of a new Cataclysm begin to appear once again... Each future is dictated by the past. Katryna Bower, the runaway daughter of King Giliam Bower, is forced to return home after her mother dies suddenly and father is poisoned. Old traumas run deep however, and Katryna must confront her painful past and estranged family before she can uncover the twisted plot against her House. Only the strong survive. King Emery Blacktree agrees to end a bitter border dispute with the rival Seynards by marrying his only daughter to their despisable prince. Emery's objective is to maintain peace, but all is quickly shattered at the royal wedding as his wife's fears consume her and slanderous secrets are revealed. How far will Emery go to avoid a civil war? Every story has its beginning. Tomas and Rilan, two naive peasant boys from a small village up north, are conscripted into the army of the Broken Coast and thrown into the horrors of an invasion by a foreign empire. War isn't the only threat they will face, as they fight alongside an unforgiving captain and his barbaric men on a dangerous mission that will lead them into the very path of the coming Cataclysm and a strange girl who may hold all the answers.
