The Shards of Acrilon

Announcing our Debut High-Fantasy Novel!

Long time, no update… Now it’s time for a big update!

Josh and I have a book coming out on September 22nd!

It’s a high fantasy novel set in a world where the inhabitants have been cursed to forget the dead and the main protagonists are trying to piece together a relic to undo the curse.

Seriously, we have a publisher so any bookstore can order it for you if you’d rather not go through big corporations.

Read below for the back of cover blurb of The Shards of Acrilon:

“A loved one passes and, instantly, all memory of them leaves your mind. That has been the reality of the world ever since the Heart of Acrilon was destroyed millennia ago. Until Quinn Vesper was born. The sole person able to remember the dead and see spirits, Quinn navigates a haunted, broken world, having made it their goal to rebuild the Heart to free everyone from its curse. Of course, things are never that simple, as they and their party contend with ferocious shardbeasts born from the very shards they’re gathering as well as powerful factions who want the Heart for their own reasons.”

If that sounds like something you might like, or if you just want to hate read our book to give us a scathing review, it’s available for pre-order on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and wherever you buy books.

Thanks to everyone that’s already ordered a copy or shared our posts!

-Travis
