The Falling of Forever

The Island of Shadows—Book One of The Falling of Forever

In the quiet village of Springville, Ranoke wants nothing more than to work metal and be left alone.

But when royal banners appear on the road and dwarven envoys arrive bearing a sealed invitation to Northdale’s legendary forges, his ordinary life begins to fracture.

Rumors spread—of sealed vaults, vanished scholars, and bandits haunting the Buva Forest.

Kings take notice.

Courtiers whisper.

And somewhere beyond the trees, someone is already moving pieces.

Pulled from his forge into a world of mountain cities and political intrigue, Ranoke uncovers a truth that should have remained buried: his parents’ disappearance may not have been an accident. And something ancient beneath the land may be stirring once more.

As kingdoms maneuver and unseen forces watch from the shadows, Ranoke must decide whether to remain small—or follow the path his family once took into the unknown.

Some doors were sealed for a reason.

And some are beginning to open.
