An apocalyptic fairy tale of Lovecraftian proportions, Lightbringers weaves real world history and mythology with fantastic and terrible imaginations . . . creating a future that is both beautiful and terrifying. The ancient conflict that has waged on Earth for eons between two rival groups of alien gods, one from the bright center of the galaxy and one from the dark abyss beyond is finally nearing its end. A prophecy foretelling the birth of children of the bright gods, the Lightbringers, is fulfilled and dark forces immediately set out to destroy them. Raised in secrecy on a mysterious isle by a group of magickal women called the Circle of Swans, one of the children, Deykin is believed to be safe until one fateful day when his world unravels. Fleeing all he has ever known, the young godling begins a quest that will take him and a few loyal companions around the world in search of the clues that will reveal his destiny. Evil ever at their heels, their journey is fraught with peril and, at times, wonder. Can this young man with awakening god-like powers truly be the one to hold back the darkness that threatens to engulf the Earth? His friends believe so and they will stand by his side until the very end. Will it be enough? Time is short and the stars are almost right for the Sleeper to awaken from his ages long slumber and exact his vengeance upon the world that has kept him imprisoned for far too long.
James A Moore, author of the Seven Forges and Tides of War series
“Lightbringers is exactly what I look for in a fantasy novel. Fast paced, exhilarating and far removed from the cookie cutter fiction you run across all too often. Do yourself a favor and read this one!”
James M. Ward, author and game designer
“Lightbringers is an amazing read on many levels. I strongly urge fans of fantasy, mythology, and the supernatural to add it as a permanent edition on their book shelves.”
Steven L. Shrewsbury, Author of Philistine, Overkill, Within and co-author of Bad Magick (with Nate Southard)
“Lightbringers mingles a broad spread of myth and genre tropes into a fascinating tale. Fascinating, funny and paced to please, Lightbringers shines.”
Chris Philbrook, Author of The Reemergence and the Kinless trilogy
“Lightbringers is entirely unlike any book I’ve ever read. It’s just as large in scope and imagination as the most epic of epic fantasies, chock full of magic, and endearing characters. It’s also a story of the apocalypse; one that has already happened, and a second that tears the world apart with every turned page.”
Irene Radford, author of Merlin’s Descendants and the Stargods trilogy
“With evocative language, powerful metaphor, and careful attention to detail, Price brings us a world we can immerse ourselves in and not want to leave.”
