Lightfall: Volume I of When Dragons Die

“Your god is dead.
You are free from the lie.” - The Archmage

The Black Dragon’s death shatters the faerie realms of the Otherworld. From its fragments, a new elven race emerges in the god-infested lands of Ahmbren.

Aradma is born from light on the frozen slopes of Windbowl, emerging as a grown woman with nothing more than the broken memories of a dead faerie people. She is taken by trolls and heralded as the long-awaited priestess of the Moon Goddess, where she is forced to choose between the truth of the natural world and the intoxicating lure of their Matriarch’s adoration. Aradma must pierce the lies of a goddess before her lover murders half her tribe.

Meanwhile, the immortal God-King who ruled the Artalonian Empire for a thousand years sacrificed himself to defeat the Black Dragon. The Archmage who raised the God-King to power now mourns his loss, even as he falls to madness and threatens to break the very world he saved.

Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

K. Scott Lewis was born in California to Navy parents, and then moved all over the place such that when asked as an adult, "Where are you from?", he shrugs and says, "the U.S." He graduated from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology with a B.S. in Computer Science and then entered the Air Force to do somewhat computer-sciencey types of things and continue the habit of moving every few years. His personal interests took him into comparative religion, philosophy, and world mythology when he wasn't reading science-fiction or fantasy for entertainment. Tolkien's appendices and maps inspired him to world-craft as a hobby, which later grew into writing as a past-time while deployed. When he's not writing, he's composing music on piano and electric guitar, which he sees as another means of evoking stories.

The first thing you’ll notice in author K. Scott Lewis’s inaugural novel in the When Dragons Die series is the richness of his creation, the mythical world of Ahmbren. Tolkeinesque in its scope and vision, the volume of fantasy themes and iconography encompassed in Lightfall is both mind boggling and enthralling.

But secondly, and more importantly, is the fullness and scope of the story itself. A new race of elves comes into the world, and the events that have led to their existence are vast and fascinating beyond imagining. Or at least beyond the telling of merely one book; the trilogy continues to layer more and more into to this epic tale with each new installment, amplifying excitement, tragedy, intrigue, and tingling, page-turning enchantment. Lightfall is the story of elves, darklings, and sorceresses, Aradma, Tiberan, Arda, and Anuit, plus a full and riveting cast of dwarves, trolls, kings, gods, goddesses, wizards, ratlings, gnomes, and yes, Dragons, and how the adventures of a few can affect an entire world.

When you begin Lightfall, you’ll be instantly captivated. When you finish it, you’ll be yearning for more. And Covenant, the second When Dragons Die novel, promises to deliver.

A very ambitious entrant into the genre, Lightfall is a novel with admirable depth and breadth rich in traditional fantasy plot elements but enriched by subtle and, at times, not-so subtle narrative surrounding contemporary issues such as religion, sexuality, non-sexual relationships between the sexes,and cultural and socioeconomic stigmas and discrimination. It's a good read that can leave you both delighted and somewhat perplexed at the same time. While those new to the Genre may be a bit overwhelmed with some of the concepts and characters, a little patience at the outset will pay off on the whole.

Mr. Lewis does something well with this novel that's extremely hard to do. He introduces a new world, complex characters, even more complex plot elements and social and theological structures in a way that a reader can absorb relatively quickly. I found myself at first a bit wary with what I thought would be significant work I'd need to do to get on board, grasp some of these structures and concepts, and then ride the story through with that foundation. I was pleased that even with the substantial world building done right out of the gate, that it was smoothly integrated into the experience and moving through the remainder of the novel was natural and very enjoyable.

Fantasy veterans will enjoy new takes on genre staples, and, if like me, will certainly appreciate the tactile reality present in the story. Sex exists, and while not pornographically explicit, it's not glossed over. Violence exists, but it's neither overly gratuitous nor watered down. Religions are complicated, messy, and sometimes the theology behind them is just plain wrong. When I read fantasy I hunger for portrayals of the human (elf, troll, ratling, what have you) condition that correlates to what I think should be reality in the world, what I think would actually be happening around me if I were plunked down in the middle of it and saw it with my own eyes. Mr. Lewis captures this human context very well.

Skirting the line of historical fantasy, Lightfall delves into spiritual and nature based religious and theological concepts in an engaging way, I see many parallels to historical druidism and nature based religious concepts as well as an underlying correlation to many Old and New Testament ideas. None of this comes across in the Novel as agenda driven, but seems more to help build us a world to examine for ourselves to either be introspective and make conclusions, or just have a very entertaining read.

Some indy publications can be an editorial mess, structurally and grammatically, but it's obvious that Mr. Lewis had a solid team behind him when crafting his product here. Barring a sparse handful of voice inconsistencies and an occasional grammar or spelling glitch - which are common in even the most established publishing machines - I found his work to be very polished and extremely professional.

I certainly recommend Lightfall, at $2.99 it's a steal for the content.

5,0 su 5 stelle READ - Lightfall (When Dragons Die)
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 26 maggio 2013

As someone who doesn't typically read the fantasy genre, Lightfall was great. The complexity of the story, description of places, development of characters, and connectivity between times and places was challenging and intriguing. The moral dilemmas of friendships and lovers, the alliances and enemies, the politics, mythology and religion brought a richness of individual and societal struggles to surface. The female dominance and religious references made me think of Sherri Tepper's novel The Fresco. But this story was much more complex. Loved the description of the Gnome-built city and development of places and characters I could picture in my mind. Creative inclusion of so many different species, and a cross-pollination of these with dragons, zombies and vampires...this is clearly the first novel in a complex series of other-world adventures! Hoping the author considers an edited version for youth readership. The sex scenes, although well written and integral to the character development, would not be appropriate for younger audiences. As an adult fantasy sci-fi novel, this was a great read and I can't wait for #2....and a movie of #1!
