The Queen of Shards
by Jens C. Büdinger
Part 1 of the Chronicles of Lilith series
Bringing together The Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones and Inception in an epic action-packed narrative.
Zain is last of the Vampires...
... the Death of the Undeath...
... and now, he's finally decided to die.
After 700 years, all his efforts and sacrifices meant nothing. He's killed his kind to save the world from their hunger, but all he's been left with is everlasting guilt and solitude.
The only one who could save him is Lilith, the first other immortal he's seen in centuries.
Yet a dark omen follows in her wake...
The Shard she stole hides dark secrets in its reflection that even Zain won't dare look at. Yet she stares, ceaselessly, into the void that it harbours...
Now, Zain stands at the edge of a precipice. He desperately clings to his false reality while Lilith forces him to embrace the hard truths of the darkness inside him. As Lilith slowly loses herself to the secrets of the Shard and its power, will Zain also suffer the same fate by following her?
All he knows is that he can't give up, not when he's this close to finding purpose once more in this pointless existence.
------
You'll love The Queen of Shards because it's a dark fantasy & sci-fi series played on multiple realities featuring a tragically flawed anti-hero, strong heroines and a large cast of complex and morally gray individuals. The book explores many existential and metaphysical themes whilst also carrying the lightness of fun banter between a group of unlikely friends and lovers in a world of epic proportions.
It's the first book of a series ending on a cliffhanger.
Due to its dramatic dark themes and graphic nature it is recommended for an adult audience.

The Darkness Within
by Jens C. Büdinger
Part 2 of the Chronicles of Lilith series
The sequel to the Metaphysical Dark Fantasy novel: "The Queen of Shards"
The Battle of Blood is over, but the true war is about to begin.
Pïshkah's visions herald a far greater darkness beyond the Carthosian war. A battle between Greater Immortals. One that seeks to devour the very mind, heart and soul of the world. One that comes at the hands of Lilith, the Queen of Shards.
Lilith has set her sights on the Hall of Mirrors, the one place she can truly unlock the truth held within her Shard, and nothing is going to stop her from getting her answers, not the power-hungry Saints, not the threat of the Carthosian war or the Wardens who wish to harm her.
Zain reluctantly aids Lilith as her unsettling determination to reach the Hall inevitably draws them into the darkness within Mount Ussar Varys. Yet he is still intent on rescuing Adara and those he loves from the war.
Zain is now faced with an agonizing decision: follow the woman he so desperately fought for down an even darker path and turn his back on the world, or turn his back on her when she needs him the most.
