A Sorrowmancer’s Requiem

A Sorrowmancer’s Requiem is a six-book dark-fantasy saga set in Vornhaven — a world forged in the collision of two ancient planets, Synxxor and Deviorre, where sorrow is woven into the soil and grief itself is magic.

When Reia Shadowmark, heiress of the Sorrowmancer clan of Veilmourne, is torn from her bed in the night by the Serpimancer warlord Vexis Darktail, her father Lorien — bearer of the Havenblade — forges the shattered survivors into a warband and hunts Vexis across rival clan lands: the cursed Shadow Path, the exile-isle of Bryymsland, the flame-gated city of Ashendrel, and beyond. Vexis believes sorrow is weakness. Lorien’s answer is the war-cry of the whole saga: our sorrow is not weakness — it is our strength.

Across the six books the warband gathers the scattered celestial shards of the clans, each one a key to powers older than the thrones that claim them — from the woven-song trials of the hidden Vitaweavers to Xes'zʧorath, the forbidden Venom Shard whose very name blackens the tongue of any outsider who dares speak it. But the quest cuts inward as well as outward: through thriffinberry spirit-walks in the realm of the gods, through grief, venom, and whispering shadow, each of them must face what haunts them before they can face what hunts them. It all converges in the Paradox Isles, where the united shards tear the sky open — and every power in Vornhaven comes to wage war for what rises from the ashes.

A saga of grief turned to power, of vengeance against mercy, and of a family that refuses to kneel.
