Wrath of Shael'Vaariel
Book II - Part II of the Angelarion Saga
Oaths have fractured. Orders have fallen. The war beneath the world has begun.
As the embers of the Flamekeepers fade and the Hollowborne rise in the shadows, Angelarion Stormborn finds herself caught in the unraveling of everything the ancient Orders once vowed to protect. What began as a search for sacred relics has become a descent into betrayal, broken pacts, and a magic so corrupted it stains the veil between the living and the lost.
In the smoldering aftermath of the betrayal at Ironwatch, the sacred unity that once bound the Six Grand Orders has shattered. The Hollowshade trembles with the echoes of forgotten curses, and ancient powers-sealed by flame, blood, and starlight-begin to stir once more. At the heart of it all stands Angelarion, bound to a prophecy veiled in mystery, carrying a legacy that terrifies even those sworn to love her.
Ser Kaelric, her shield and beloved, now walks a blade-thin line between devotion and destruction. The whispers of Shael'Vaariel-the fallen Order of violet flame-gnaw at his soul, unraveling his mind as violet fire consumes ancient truths long buried. As scrolls ignite and sigils burn, Kaelric's transformation threatens to upend not just his fate, but Angelarion's as well.
Across realms now splintered and skies grown cursed, Angelarion searches for answers lost to time. She walks where myths sleep: through shattered sanctuaries, haunted ruins, and cursed lands where the Hollowborne gather-no longer mindless undead, but sentient, vengeful echoes of a forgotten war. These ember-infused revenants remember the treachery that made them, and they rise not just to destroy, but to remind the world of what was lost.
The Citadel of Stars grows silent. Dreams twist into omens. Symbols scar the flesh of the chosen. The veil between life and afterlife begins to tear-and from its fractures, something older than gods begins to seep through.
Amidst this rising chaos, the Orders-once noble defenders of balance-turn upon one another. War erupts not between kingdoms, but between past sins and the desperate future clawing to be born. As hope withers and legends falter, Angelarion must decide if she will remain a daughter of prophecy, or become a weapon of vengeance.
But not all who walk beside her are what they seem.
In the depths of the Wyrdroot, where light dies and truths bleed, a final choice awaits: to bind herself to the eternal flame-and risk becoming its wrath-or let the world burn from within.
Wrath of Shael'Vaariel is the searing continuation of the Angelarion Saga, where dark magic brews beneath the surface of dying worlds, where love is tested against the edge of war, and where even destiny must choose a side. This is epic fantasy for those who crave fierce heroines, ancient Orders, haunting lore, and battles where the soul is the final battlefield.
The wrath has returned. And it wears the face of the forgotten.
