The gods aren't dying. They're forgetting how to hold on.
Elara Moongrace is a scholar who asks the questions no one wants answered. When she discovers that the Weave - the ancient force binding all of creation - is quietly dying, the ruling Synod dismisses her as a heretic. But the fractures spreading through the living city of Myr'sylia don't care about politics.
Sent to the distant Bastion of Valerius under the guise of service, Elara is drawn into a journey that will take her far beyond the sheltering towers of her homeland. Alongside Kaelen, a forge-guardian carrying the weight of a bloodline he never asked for, and Mira, a soldier whose loyalty runs deeper than any oath, she uncovers a truth the world's institutions have spent centuries burying: the balance everyone worships was never balance at all. It was a cage.
And something ancient is pressing against the bars.
Along the way, unlikely allies emerge - Griz, a sharp-tongued goblin guide and the last survivor of a clan devoured by the Ash-Born, and Brok, a dwarven smith who feels the world's sickness in every ring of his hammer. Together, they must navigate dead-magic roads, ash-touched gods, and a rising faith built on fire as the world accelerates toward an impossible choice - not between good and evil, but between the safety of what has always been and the terrifying freedom of what it could become.
The Shattered Weave is an epic fantasy of myth, sacrifice, and the courage it takes to reshape a world that would rather stay broken than risk being made new. With richly layered worldbuilding, a cast of deeply human characters, and prose that moves between intimate and sweeping, this is a story for readers who love their fantasy with heart, consequence, and wonder.
Book One of the Song & Forge series.
An epic high fantasy with dark fantasy and mythic elements... I felt like I was stepping into an old legend.
