Animarum Umbra: A Tale of Frozen Souls and Living Shadows (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798242561441)

by CiFaust

The world did not end.
It simply stopped.

When time freezes across the Elven Isles, villages are caught mid-breath and lives are suspended between moments. No warning. No explanation. Just stillness.

Amaris Finley is marked by the moon and haunted by dreams that refuse to stay quiet. When the world locks itself in place, she is one of the few who can still move-and one of the few who may understand why.

Alongside her walks an unlikely band:
a frost-scarred tiefling blacksmith marked by survival,
a grung chef whose kindness cuts deeper than steel,
and a fallen general bearing a star-forged arm and a past she cannot outrun.

Together, they venture into frozen towns, forgotten crypts, and places where time itself has left scars. Gods watch but do not intervene. Shadows move when they should not. And ancient powers wait beneath stone and silence.

As the truth begins to surface, the cost of knowing becomes clear.

Some mysteries want to be solved.
Others want to be remembered.

Animarum Umbra is an epic fantasy novel born from collaborative storytelling, rich with dark magic, emotional stakes, and a world where survival is never accidental. Perfect for readers who enjoy atmospheric fantasy, morally complex heroes, and stories where the greatest danger is choosing to move when everything else stands still.
