T. S. Lewis's Desolate: Blind Lineage rattles the status-quo of contemporary fantasy as the rich Emberverse delves further into both wonder and chaos, showcasing dastardly new foes, robust magic, and conflicting senses of hope and doom. When Jade, a blind twenty-five year-old Paladiness and special-needs teacher begins to uncover the secrets of her past, Deviant monsters threaten to destroy all she holds dear. When visions of horrors unspeakable lash her very mind, she rediscovers an ancient, dusty necklace in her closet, and is thrown into a dangerous world: A world brighter than a solar flare— a world darker than black mist shrouding thousands of lost souls screeching to be free. Jade balances both worlds while maintaining her day-job, befriending shady militants, fortifying magical cities, and teaching creatures of light to embrace the very essence of themselves, often battling just to see the break of dawn. As her vision fades, the past and future become clearer... But is she watching time, or is time watching her? From upcoming author T. S. Lewis, Desolate: Blind Lineage captivates minds, tells a vibrant tale with visceral friendship, honor, and gritty violence, and captures the unforgettable, unbreakable bonds between Paladins, Entities, and their respective worlds. The war for the Spirit World has begun.
