A Light in the Darkness
The Vault of Kings Book 1
by Matt Taylor
Genre: YA Fantasy
For ten years, the dark mage Maelos has shrouded Evendreil in darkness
and oppression. With no hope in sight, many are struggling to survive;
others pray that their luck will remain. In searching for answers, Sylas
stumbles upon an ancient artifact--a mysterious silver amulet--that
confirms the reality of the fabled Vault of Kings. Hoping to overthrow
Maelos and end his evil reign, Sylas and his companions set off to find
the legendary elemental stones of power that are needed to unlock the door
to the vault. If they are to succeed in their quest, they must first learn
to master the ancient art of Magick in all of its basic forms: Light,
Darkness, Water, Fire, Nature, and Air. Then they must pray that whatever
secret is contained in the Vault of Kings will be enough to give them the
edge that they need to defeat the most powerful dark mage that the world
has ever seen.

The Vault of Kings Book 2
Gelendor has fallen. Darkness has descended once again. Despite the
danger, Torren has decided to stay in Gelendor to try and form a secret
rebellion while the others make their journey towards Sindmyr, the Capital
of Light. Once there, Sylas and Samara will need to convince the King of
Sindmyr to join their cause and fight back against the armies of Maelos.
To be successful, the two young mages will not only need to continue to
master the ancient art of Light Magick, but also uncover an ancient secret
that has been hidden away beneath the City of Light for generations. A
secret that could prove deadly to any who attempt to wield it. Most
importantly, Sylas will need to prove that he is worthy to obtain the
Stone of Light and unite it with the ancient silver amulet. With two
Elemental Stones of power at his side, Sylas will bring himself one step
closer to completing the key to the Vault of Kings. One step closer to
unlocking the powerful secret that's been hidden from the world for over a
thousand years. Gelendor has fallen to Darkness, but in the Light...there
is still hope.
What one can expect from The Vault of Kings series is a seven
book epic fantasy story about a young boy and his friends learning a
complicated and unique magic system, learning life lessons about friendship,
trust, good morals, how to be dependable, and of course a fantastic and rich
adventure in a magical land where secrets are kept, mysteries are uncovered,
and good prevails over evil. I wanted to write a story that was clean and taught
good morals and work ethics in a subtle manor that was fun for both young
adults and adult audiences to read. A
book that I wanted to read. A book that I think an ever increasingly distracted
and confused world would enjoy.
I'm a small town boy from Southeast Idaho. I've wanted to share
my stories and wild imagination with the world for a long
time, and finally decided that now is better than never. I have loved
reading fantasy books ever since I was little, but there was always
something missing, something that I wished that I could add to the story,
to make it mine. Writing a book and putting yourself out there for the
world to see is daunting to say the least, but the joy and sense of
accomplishment you get from seeing your story out there, for all to read
and enjoy is a feeling like none other.
I hope that you will enjoy the worlds of my mind, and take part in the
adventures that have been hidden from the world, but are now finally being
revealed.

ReplyDeletePlease try not to spam posts with the same comments over and over again. Authors like seeing thoughtful comments about their books, not the same old, "I like the cover" or "sounds good" comments. While that is nice, putting some real thought and effort in is appreciated. Thank you.
