THE CHRONICLES OF PERIMET
Coming Soon: The Malhela Tetralogy
Book 1:
Glamor Lost
“If you need a hero, look at yourself!”
Fourteen-year-old Malhela faces the world crawling, abandoned, and sustained only by her wavering will to stay alive in the harsh world of the Seven Rings, where two suns and a shattered moon gaze down on a world designed to break the weak.
When the evil Magiistos mutilate Malhela and banish her from a slave-dependent patriarchy oppressed by the system of caste and mask, she is thrust into a world of governed by only one rule: Survive!
In a journey through the ever-changing landscape of the Seven Rings and her own soul, Malhela discovers leaders are self-made, not born, and that there is a simple heroism in making it through each day.
Coping with emotional and physical agony, but clutching a shred of hope, Malhela undertakes a quest to rescue her true love, give meaning to suffering and tragedy, and free the Rings from a twisted form of slavery.
Thus begins the Malhela Tetralogy, an exploration of love between the traumatized, found family, the heroism of the damned, what it means to fight for an idea, and the meaning of hope.
Book 2:
The Metal Child
“You are your promises.”
Crossing into the harsh desert of the Ring of Sand with Prometeo, Malhela finds the Golden Tower, which extracts a terrible price to enter its walls. New allies, but even more terrible enemies, await her within. Malhela discovers her true origins and must face the darkness within herself as she journeys with new-found compatriots to the Ring of Sea, where she encounters an old foe and the threat of execution. On an island designed to kill its inhabitants, she encounters a mysterious ally and searches for a way to transport her growing army to the plains. Faced with an impossible choice, Malhela must decide which of her pack to sacrifice.
Book 3:
The Star Abyss
“Heroism is duty executed regardless of the consequences.”
In the depths of the volcano, Malhela must navigate a deadly new environment. Facing her greatest enemy, Malhela loses the battle and finds herself on the edge of death with only a slim hope of success. A new predator hunts Malhela in the freezing wastes of the Ring of Ice, where she finds a hostile, powerful army. Barely escaping alive, Malhela fights her way through the Outer Rings, discovers the true origins of the Seven Rings, and how her ancestor reached this world. At the edge of the Rings, she finds her lost beloved, and must make a terrible, irreversible choice between love and revenge. She finds that death may not be final, but her decisions are forever.
Book 4:
The Obsidian Queen
“Edges are for stepping off.”
Trapped and wounded, Malhela faces total defeat, and must solve an ancient riddle to save her friends as time shifts beneath her feet, destroying her plans faster than she can make them. Malhela unlocks a secret critical to winning the war, but loses the means to wield it, bringing her ever closer to defeat. After finding everlasting love, Malhela loses it in a terrifying twist of fate. Betrayed and captured by those she loved the most, Malhela careens towards a final battle, where she must decide whether she can bear the terrible costs of victory and love.
