Song of the Dreamer
Part One: The Rule of Three
An ancient power stir. A world on the edge. Three lives bound by prophecy.
When a sacred artefact is stolen from the Keepers, the fabric of reality begins to unravel. The Waystone—an anchor between worlds—has fallen into the wrong hands, and its loss threatens to awaken gods long thought banished. The Veil of Shadow weakens, and with it, the fragile peace that holds Solumna together.
Song of the Dreamer Part One: The Rule of Three sets the scene and opens following the journeys of three strangers, separated by oceans, cultures and beliefs, drawn into the coming storm:
—A grieving farmer, whose village is razed by reavers, finds himself on a path shaped by vengeance and ancient power.
—A general’s daughter, burning to prove herself, takes up arms in the name of the Empire of Khor—but loyalty to an ancient order comes at a price.
—A devoted servant of the Divine Shadow, tested by visions, forbidden magic, and the weight of her faith, must decide whether salvation lies in obedience—or rebellion.
As these threads intertwine, the Dreamer stirs—her song echoing through time and memory. Empires tremble, dark stars rise, and the Old Gods stretch their hands toward the world once more. In the shadow of prophecy, trust is fragile, truth is buried deep, and not all will survive the light.
For fans of Tolkien, Sanderson, and The Wheel of Time, Song of the Dreamer is the immersive first volume of The Aonaithar Saga—an epic fantasy tale of mythic origins, divine intrigue, and the thin line between destiny and destruction.

Part Two: Lies & Legacies
The saga continues in Song of the Dreamer – Part Two: Lies & Legacies.
Syrina is cast into the Well of Shadows, where she must endure trials of faith, loyalty, and survival. The whispers of His Divine Shadow call to her—promising guidance, power, and a truth she may not be ready to face.
Far above the clouds, Elah’s voyage aboard the strange aeroship Indomitable reveals dangerous secrets: the battle-hardened marines of the Wolfpack, the enigmatic sorcerer-engineers known as the Sisters, and a mission that leads beyond the maps of the known world.
Meanwhile, Aeron, Reille, and Therros chase the stolen Waystone across the treacherous Wildlands and into the frozen teeth of the Arctic mountains. In his dreams, Aeron once again meets the elusive Thriol—and begins to question not only what he has been told, but the very nature of truth itself.
As alliances shatter and empires teeter, the dead rise from their graves and armies march to war. The threads of fate tighten, and the Dreamer’s song grows darker.
Can they reclaim the Waystone before it falls into the hands of the Old Gods… or will the price of failure be nothing less than the end of all things?
