I never believed in the whole “light at the end of the tunnel” folly where people, after having a near-death experience, would startle awake in a cold sweat exclaiming, “I saw the light!” But there I was, in this so-called “tunnel” facing a glaring light, when the last thing I remembered was sleeping in my room - the royal bed-chamber, as others called it. Had I died? If so, how? King Grey once benefited from unrivaled strength, wealth, and prestige in a world governed by martial ability but now finds himself reborn in a society dominated by magic.

In order to protect his loved ones, the mage Arthur Leywin must reveal the truth of his identity. If he is to fulfill his role in the war between the godlike asuras and the demonic Vritra, he must leave those he hopes to protect and travel to the land of deities and dragons. First, however, he must escape. Arthur stands before the kings and queens of Dicathen, accused of a crime he did not commit. It will take an act of the gods to save him from having his magic stripped away, leaving him powerless in the war to come. Fortunately for Arthur, he can count the gods among his friends.

Arthur Leywin has experienced two lifetimes of challenge and adventure. He has lived as a swordsman, a mage, an adventurer, and a king. Now his two lives, old and new, will collide, revealing the connection between King Grey and Arthur Leywin, but at what cost? How will this affect the ongoing war between the nations of Alacrya and Dicathen? Enemy forces threaten the coastal cities, the elven forests, and the fortified mountain passes. Dicathen’s most powerful allies have vanished, and the military alliance between men, elves, and dwarves threatens collapse.

The Beginning After the End: Publisher's Pack 2 contains books 3 and 4 of The Beginning After the End series, Beckoning Fates and Horizon's Edge. Though Arthur Leywin would like nothing more than to pursue his studies at the esteemed Xyrus Academy, where he hopes to push his already potent magical abilities to new plateaus and perhaps discover something more about his reincarnation into this world, he finds the politics of the school’s halls even more challenging to navigate than those of the council chambers he once inhabited as King Grey.

Arthur Leywin may have survived the Relictombs, but he immediately finds himself embroiled in something far more complex and dangerous: Alacryan politics. Accused of crimes he didn’t commit, Arthur is forced to defend himself without drawing the attention of his most powerful enemies. He quickly discovers that the best place to hide may be in plain sight as he continues his quest for the power to control Fate itself. It is a race against time, however, as the greatest threat of the war so far closes in on Arthur’s loved ones in Dicathen.

After nearly dying as a victim of his own strength, Arthur Leywin wakes to find himself far from the continent where he was born for the second time. Alone, broken, and with no way to tell his family he’s alive, Arthur must rebuild his strength to survive. As he ascends through an ancient dungeon filled with hostile beasts and devious trials, he discovers an ancient, absolute power - a power that will either ruin him or take him to new heights.

The war between Dicathen and Alacrya is over and Arthur Leywin has vanished. In the uncertain aftermath of this decisive loss, a few familiar faces navigate peril–both political and moral–as they are now forced to make a difficult choice: accept life under Vritra rule or keep fighting despite impossible odds? As Dicathen falls, Mica Earthborn, Lilia Helstea, Emily Watsken, and Jasmine Flamesworth must each answer this question for themselves.

Arthur Leywin hat zwei Leben voller Herausforderungen und Abenteuer gemeistert. Er war Schwertkämpfer, Magier, Abenteurer und König. Jetzt treffen seine beiden Leben, das alte und das neue, aufeinander und offenbaren die Verbindung zwischen König Grey und Arthur Leywin. Doch zu welchem Preis? Wie wird sich das auf den anhaltenden Krieg zwischen den Nationen Alacrya und Dicathen auswirken? Feindliche Truppen bedrohen die Küstenstädte, die Elfenwälder und die befestigten Gebirgspässe.

In another life, Arthur Leywin was a king and no stranger to war. He was not ready, however, to find himself at the heart of a conflict that would reshape his entire new world. Despite his abilities, it seems as if the danger only increases with every discovery he makes.

In seinem früheren Leben war Arthur Leywin ein König und daher ein alter Hase, wenn es um Kriege ging. Er war aber nicht darauf vorbereitet, dass er sich plötzlich mitten in einem Konflikt wiederfand, der seine gesamte neue Welt auf den Kopf stellen würde.

Arthur Leywin möchte nichts lieber, als die angesehene Xyrus-Akademie zu besuchen. Dort, so hofft er, kann er seine ohnehin schon beeindruckenden magischen Fähigkeiten weiter verfeinern und vielleicht mehr über seine Reinkarnation in dieser Welt erfahren. Allerdings empfindet er die Politik im Schulalltag sogar als noch komplizierter als das, was er als König Grey in den Ratskammern miterlebt hat.

Da ihm ein zweites Leben geschenkt wurde, möchte Arthur Leywin vor allem stark genug werden, um seine Familie zu beschützen. Denn die Erinnerungen an sein kaltes und einsames früheres Leben als König Grey verfolgen ihn noch immer. Dazu schlüpft Arthur in die Rolle des maskierten Abenteurers Note und begibt sich in die Dungeons unter der unheimlichen Bestienschneise.

König Grey hat alles: unvergleichliche Macht, Reichtum und Ansehen. In einer Welt, in der die persönliche Stärke über den Thron entscheidet, ist er der unangefochtene Herrscher. Doch als sein von Gewalt und Ehrgeiz geprägtes Leben abrupt endet, findet er sich in einer unvorstellbaren Situation wieder: Er wird als schreiender Säugling in einer neuen und fremden Welt wiedergeboren.
