Kingdoms Lost

In the remote stronghold of Yihkim, King Urian has carved a fragile peace for his people from the ruins of a shattered world. Years after the catastrophe known as the Event, the once-wandering Gypsy King has built walls, trained warriors, and raised a family amid the wastes. Yet the past refuses to stay buried.When an old friend and trusted counselor dies, Urian is left with a final message and a strange artifact that forces him to confront long-hidden truths. What he discovers challenges everything he believed about the fall of the God-King, the wars that followed, and the cost of vengeance. As doubt and grief harden him, the bonds with his wife Evelyn and their children, especially his heir Ascelin, begin to fray. Beyond the walls, ancient powers stir. Mysterious visitors emerge from the depths of the mountain with a gift that carries both promise and danger. Far away, other forces (mortal and divine) move in the shadows, their ambitions reaching across kingdoms and even into the realms of the dead. Giants, forgotten gods, and the weight of legacy threaten to tear apart the hard-won sanctuary Urian has built. Kingdoms Lost is an epic fantasy of leadership under pressure, the long shadows of the past, and the difficult choices between justice and mercy. As old alliances fracture and new threats rise, one king must decide how much of himself he is willing to sacrifice to protect those he loves-and whether any kingdom can truly outlast the debts of history.
