Synopsis EPIC FANTASY | THRILLER | ROMANCE In the forsaken fishing village of Tyrwe, Kyl Eisele, a mute and illiterate blacksmith apprentice, yearns for more beyond his small and isolated village. But living in a village where perception defines your very existence, Kyl finds himself financially and socially bankrupt—overlooked, undervalued, and relegated to the shadows. So when he finds himself waking in the stables of the noble household he is supposed to be attending, he finds himself ill-prepared for the fateful meeting of Aelyria Moiral—Daughter Heir of said noble household, whose family is akin to royalty in Tyrwe. Feeling as though he’s been caught with his pants down, and with nothing to lose, Kyl strikes a bargain, beginning an unlikely friendship. But as their relationship deepens into an even unlikelier romance, Kyl finds himself enthralled by Aelyria’s intelligence and her tantalizing, potentially dangerous, secret. So when she is mysteriously kidnapped without a trace—his only clue a strange glass dagger of mystifying origin—Kyl sets off after her, swearing he will not rest until she is found. Meanwhile, from the dawn of human existence, in the realm of the divine where emotions are a foreign concept—an enigma best left to the mortal coil—one deity finds themselves inextricably drawn to the peculiarity of human life; captivated by the very emotions they, themself, cannot feel. As curiosity deepens into obsession, the ways of humans is too tantalizing to resist, and the deity finds themselves entangled within the lives of mortals, forever changing the trajectory of mortal-kind. But doing so draws the attention of a divine nemesis who views mortals as a blight. The perilous journey ahead will lead the apprentice to a destiny intertwined with divinity, uncover knowledge from a long dead ancient civilization, and befriend unlikely people: an enterprising young princess, a powerful shapeshifter, and a mysterious ship captain who harbors a secret that may just be the key to finding Aelyria. So as Kyl discovers the kidnappers’ actions are rooted in a millennia-old conflict that could threaten to end his world as he knows it, he must confront the limits of human mortality and the true power of the glass dagger. But where does Aelyria stand in it all? And can he save her, and his world, before it's too late? “The Glass Dagger” is a gripping fantasy adventure, rich with immersive world building, that weaves a tale of discovery, betrayal, self-acceptance, and the profound meaning behind the mortal condition and human mortality. Fans of The Stormlight Archive, The Wheel of Time, Earthsea, and Tolkien will enjoy this epic tale of battling gods and strength of the human heart. See More Projects World Map TGD Map

DO YOU NEED HELP CREATING AN AWESOME AUTHOR WEBSTIE? OR HAVE YOU BEEN STRUGGLING TO IMPROVE YOUR OWN? Introducing The Author Website Creator Author Bair Klos WHY DO I NEED A WEBSITE? Whether you are traditionally published, self-published, or “not-yet-published," you need an Author Website! Socia l media platforms are a great start, BUT: You don’t own them, they come and go with trends, they could disappear any day (*ehem* glances at Twitter), and algorithms are making it harder and harder to get seen. Personally, I've learned that having a great Author Website (and a Newslett er through that website!) is the best and most effective way to: Create a central hub for your platform Show professionalism to others in the book-industry And convert book lovers and writers into committed and engaged fans! BUT GREAT WEBSITES NEED 3 THINGS... TIME, SKILL & MONEY And who has the patience and time to teach themselves coding, the skill to design functional layouts that work, or the money to pay someone sometimes thousands of dollars to hire someone to create a website for you? Am I right??? IT SHOULDN'T BE THIS HARD! LET ME TELL YOU A SECRET... IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE HARD I’ve personally been creating websites for individuals with Wix for years now. So, when I started on this author journey, I did my research and used my skills to create THIS AUTHOR WEBSITE that started getting: And I didn't even have any books published yet! After sharing my results, I constantly get questions about how to create a great Author Website. And so, I decided to figure out how I could help as many authors as possible, no matter their web design skills, their budget, or their book-publication status! DO YOU WANT SIMILAR RESULTS? HOW WOULD YOU FEEL TO... Have a website that is beautiful, modern and professional that you are proud to show to readers and industry professionals? Have the help of a web designer (who is also a fellow author) guide you step by step & take all the guesswork and stress out of design, layout, and what to include? Let your website do the work for you to constantly bring in excited and loyal readers? LET ME HELP YOU! PICK THE OPTION THAT BEST DESCRIBES: "I don’t want to learn how to create a site myself. I rather tell you what I want & focus on my writing." Create It For Me! Gear "I already have an author website but I’d love your help improving it!" Suggest Improvements! HAVE MORE QUESTIONS?
