Dark World

Fantasy quest story about a boy who must restore a planet from darkness. Aiden is tasked to locate the Hell Queen's hosts on an alien world where he hopes to find his fireborn father.

Aiden has no memory of the Immortal realm but quickly realises the Mother of All Missions has begun. Why was slayer Wayne swapped with his brothers and sisters? Of course, he knows the first step is to befriend the ghost. The ghost tells him he has no choice but to lead his unsuspecting siblings onto a dark world to restore the Heart of Ethyrus. Matthew and Arif don't know what dangers lie ahead. Aroosa is snatched by sirens. Eliza is possessed by a dead queen. Aiden must learn to trust the ghost and the skills he has, to unmask the Hell Queen's hosts. Where danger lies, humans play. Where humans play, devils wait.

Author's note: This story was born as a metaphor for the trials of living with a life-long illness. Characters came to life. Life demands drama. Drama demands soul.
