Synopsis

Bringing together The Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones and Inception in an epic action-packed narrative.

Zain is last of the Vampires...

... the Death of the Undeath...

... and now, he's finally decided to die.

After 700 years, all his efforts and sacrifices meant nothing. He's killed his kind to save the world from their hunger, but all he's been left with is everlasting guilt and solitude.

The only one who could save him is Lilith, the first other immortal he's seen in centuries.

Yet a dark omen follows in her wake...

The Shard she stole hides dark secrets in its reflection that even Zain won't dare look at. Yet she stares, ceaselessly, into the void that it harbours...

Now, Zain stands at the edge of a precipice. He desperately clings to his false reality while Lilith forces him to embrace the hard truths of the darkness inside him. As Lilith slowly loses herself to the secrets of the Shard and its power, will Zain also suffer the same fate by following her?

All he knows is that he can't give up, not when he's this close to finding purpose once more in this pointless existence.

------

You'll love The Queen of Shards because it's a dark fantasy & sci-fi series played on multiple realities featuring a tragically flawed anti-hero, strong heroines and a large cast of complex and morally gray individuals. The book explores many existential and metaphysical themes whilst also carrying the lightness of fun banter between a group of unlikely friends and lovers in a world of epic proportions.

It's the first book of a series ending on a cliffhanger.

Due to its dramatic dark themes and graphic nature it is recommended for an adult audience.

Many books were started and never finished, largely due to time and commitment issues apart from lack of experience.
