An Age of Stars Series

Discord is sparking in the realm, now more than ever...and when the flame sparks, there's no putting it out.

Crowned at the immature age of 15, a now seasoned-in-ruling King Esmond Centaur is presented with threats to his realm, unlike anything he has seen before. Previous threats had never been an issue, as ever since his childhood friend Reynold Lyrderyn, and the battle-hardened warrior Sigmund Horncurve had risen to become his lieges, the three had managed to kindle a prosperous and tight grip on Austellus.

A tight-grip Esmond feels starts to loosen as he is forced to part ways with them for a final time. With a vast amount of land to look over, nine sworn kingdoms worth on top of that, and a large family of restless sons and daughters, Esmond tries his best to not let it all slip through his fingers.

Set in the splintered world of Austellus, An Age of Stars is a medieval-inspired epic fantasy that has a heavy emphasis on philosophy, grief, identity, and power, as men rise and fall to find their place in the world. Told through the eyes of an exploding cast of characters, from highborn to lowborn, knights to outlaws, young to old, this is an age where nothing quite stays the same for too long, both in life and death. A Spark of Discord is the first of the following novels to look into this change, and follows the stories of the ancient fiery bloodlines of the Sagittarius, Leo, and Aries.
