Utopia Falling: A Darkness Rises (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798988109006)

"Utopia, once created, cannot long endure the onslaught of human nature."

The Great Destruction brought Earth to its knees.

As centuries passed, humanity grew into the utopian realm of Tartica, founded on free love, dedicated to living off nature, and committed to repopulating civilization. The young Reyne Brenton's only desire is to marry Mithany, raise a family, and reap the promise of a simple life.

But Reyne's hopes are shattered when assassins from the parallel domain of Evidar, a brutal world condemned to exist forever in darkness, arrive on Tartica just days before his wedding... and mark him for death. Elsewhere, benevolent leaders guiding Tartica's ideal society succumb to dark ambitions based on tainted promises and spark events that threaten to set millennia of cultural harmony ablaze.

As Reyne refuses to accept that he alone can pass through to a parallel realm-that he doesn't believe exists-to kill its leader, secrets are revealed, lies are laid bare, and what cannot be real... is.

Driving everything towards chaos, the Devil's Blacksmith, Evidar's master manipulator, has secrets of his own and will stop at nothing to secure salvation for his world and freedom from its perpetual darkness at the expense of Reyne's life and Tartica's existence.

Utopia Falling: A Darkness Rises begins the dark epic fantasy trilogy, The Utopia Falling Saga.
