The Hollow Flame: Legacy of the Forgotten God

drhduth
In an age long buried beneath time and memory, gods walked the earth—fed not by faith, but by belief. When the tides of human devotion turned to science and steel, the Old Gods faded like dying stars. But one, the most cunning of them all, foresaw the end. Before his divinity waned, he sealed the essence of his power inside a mysterious, indestructible egg—hidden deep within the earth, behind riddles, monsters, and traps not meant for mortals. Now, in the modern world, he lives a quiet life as a humble grocery shopkeeper, watching, waiting, as a dark future foretold inches closer. But he is not the only one who remembers. His celestial aide, lost to time, hunts for the artifact that could either restore their glory—or doom them forever. Ancient powers stir beneath neon skies. And the game of gods begins again.

Scions of the Cruel King

In Scions of the Cruel King, the Targaryen family drama is in full swing. After Aegon’s death, Aenys took the throne, but things quickly went south. Aenys wasn’t exactly a strong leader, and it didn’t take long before the Faith rose up against him. That’s when Maegor stepped in—furious and out for blood after the murder of Eleana. He crushed the rebellion with an iron fist. When Aenys died under some pretty shady circumstances, Maegor took over as king. But even though he was ruthless, the Faith remained a thorn in his side right up until his own brutal end in 48 A.L. Now, the story kicks off in 56 A.L., and the Targaryens are still in hot water. Jaehaerys, Aenys’s son, is holding down the fort as regent for his young cousin Vaegyl, Maegor’s son. The realm is a mess, full of uprisings and political scheming. Jaehaerys and his allies, like Gerold Westerling, are doing their best to keep the peace, but they don’t realize that Westerling and Ser Tybolt Lannister have their own plans. They’re secretly plotting to put Westerling’s grandson, Aegon, on the throne. As Vaegyl gets closer to coming of age, things start heating up. Old loyalties are questioned, hidden secrets come to light, and the shadow of Maegor’s brutal reign still hangs over everything. The fight for the Iron Throne is just beginning, and it’s going to get messy. If you’re into stories packed with power struggles, betrayals, and the Targaryens fighting for control of the Seven Kingdoms, Scions of the Cruel King is right up your alley.
