From the misted moors and rain-dark shores of Ardann, where ancient things lurk, their names only kept by the tongues that pass down their tales; to the great realms of the Aelius Empire, where folk are crushed under the yoke of the aspirations of others whose whims and machinations are far grander than the imaginings of those beneath them. This is not a world of heroes and happy endings. It is a world of cold stone, cruel fate, and beauty so fierce it hurts to look upon. Laments & Maladies is a collection of poems, proses and short stories set primarily in the lands of Ardann, a land inspired by the folklore and fatalism of old Ireland. Each tale stands alone, yet together they form a tapestry of sorrow, superstition, and survival. A lament for the lost, the cursed, and the ones who keep walking long after hope has gone cold. You will walk through the wilds deep and along wave battered shores, with the cursed and the damned. You will hear the banshee’s keening in the distance and wonder if it calls for you.
