With the recent release of book three of the series (Breaking Into The Light) I thought I’d share a tidbit of info about Dark Fey: Standing in Shadows, book two of the Dark Fey Trilogy, which delves deeper into the mystery and suspense of the tale initiated in book one: The Reviled.

In book two, readers discover the history behind the main character, Gairynzvl, in greater detail as they learn about the harrowing life he endured among the Reviled of the Uunglarda, as well as the terrors of The Integration; the process of intentional cruelty and neglect designed to twist childfey into Dark Ones.  Although Standing in Shadows reaches deeper into the shadows, it never strays entirely out of the Light, relating a tale of both fear and hope as readers share Gairynzvl’s challenges to return into a restored life.

Although certainly darker than book one, Standing in Shadows does not incorporate this level of horror simply for the sake of it. One does not need to open the pages of a book to discover the unthinkable, as the darkness typically embodied in fantasy genre stories by some terrifying being or creature is very much alive in our own reality and this is the underlying motivation for the darkness woven into Dark Fey.  Standing in Shadows was based in great part upon the terrifying, yet true-life events of the Lord’s Resistance Army or LRA, a rebel militant group in Uganda that has for over 20 years abducted children from their homes; forcing them to commit horrifying acts of violence against each other and their own people. These children suffer a very real Integration and, like the childfey of Jyndari, they endure violence, starvation, multiple rapes and beatings at the hands of truly sadistic overlords.  This is how the Reviled came to life and became the unthinkably cruel beings depicted in Dark Fey.

However dark, Standing in Shadows also gives readers the opportunity to explore the vibrant realm of Jyndari more fully.  There are accounts of distant lands and exotic wildlife; readers join the villagers of Hwyndarin in a night of celebration and exquisitely described traditional music; and the characters even get time to enjoy a heart-pounding sporting event, but through it all, Gairynzvl’s purpose remains and the reasons why he wants to return into the dark realm of The Uunglarda are ultimately exposed.

In spite of the dangers involved and the very great risk of sparking full-scale war with the Reviled, Gairynzvl has an inescapable need to go back into the dark realm of the Uunglarda to rescue as many of the childfey trapped there as he can find. The success of his plan will hinge upon more than courage and military strategy; it will call upon the unique skills and magic of each individual who chooses to join his band of Liberators, and it will require a level of dependence upon each other for which few of them are prepared.  Their actions will test all of their limits, could easily divide loyalties, and will shake the foundations of everything The Fey of The Light have accepted as truth for thousands of years. Can Gairynzvl convince his friends and the Temple Elders to allow him to return to the Uunglarda?  Who will join him to help the innocent childfey who have been abducted into the realm of shadows and fear?  Will the Fey of the Light risk a savage war in order to rescue so few, and will any of them be prepared to face the consequences of their actions?

#EpicFantasy #NewRelease #DarkFey Breaking Into The Light!

After nearly two years of work and inestimable patience on your part, I am overjoyed to be able to (finally) announce the release of book three of the Dark Fey Trilogy!

Breaking Into The Light is now available through Amazon/Kindle 

Breaking into the Light relates the Inspiration of Hope and the Power of Forgiveness through a tale that is brutally beautiful.

The Reviled are the enemy; merciless, untrustworthy.  They embody brutality and devastation.  The Fey of the Light have lived with these truths for millennia.  Daring to think otherwise invites tragedy.

Gairynzvl was a Reviled Fey and lived the riotous life of all Dark Ones; yet now he is rescuing younglings from the darkness.  The actions taken by him and his band of Liberators are fulfilling Ancient Prophecies and proving long-accepted beliefs to be inaccurate. Those who have lived in the Light all their lives, who enjoyed the luxuries of abundance, are suddenly faced with unavoidable questions.

How is Peace achieved? Can Light unite with Darkness?

Will the Fey of the Light sacrifice everything to achieve that which seems impossible or will they turn their heads and ignore the shadows weeping all around them?

.

Curious, but not entirely sure?  Here’s a few snippets to spark your interest!

Behind them, where the portal exposed by the Great Gate’s falling melded two opposing realms into one, the shadows beneath the mountain heaved and hissed with the threatening vocalizations of the Reviled.

Crimson stained arrows shot from the darkness, seeking any who might be unfortunate enough to find themselves in their trajectory, yet these tactics could be little more than intimidation; a warning of the conflict to come when the Light diminished.  The Liberators knew this and stood on either side of the yawning portal, making their presence known by creating a game out of knocking aside with their swords as many arrows as they could and by returning the insidious calls from the presently thwarted Demonfey.  Tauntingly, they issued brash invitations for the Cursed Ones to come forth; fully cognizant of the fact that they could not bear the brilliant Light filling the clearing, yet jeering at their cowardice.

“It is a treacherous game we play.”  Evondair noted as he stood beside Reydan, both malefey wordlessly observing the derisive bantering going on while standing over their fallen comrade in the silently descending flurries that had begun falling.

.

Crimson glitters scattered darkness into the night; fire and flame cascading through the silence.  The quiet environs of forest would never be the same.  Not after He had been there, shaking his hatred outward, spreading abhorrence and cruelty like seeds being sown into fertile soil; like sparks scattering from a raging flame.

They stood in mute horror, watching the conflagration as it stretched outward from his hands, crimson glitters of malevolence reaching into their tranquility, seeking only devastation.

Yet one stood against the infiltration; deep viridian staring boldly into the scarlet haze, wielding a magic Evil could never comprehend.

Forgiveness.

I am so excited and proud to share the newly revised cover for Dark Fey The Reviled with you 🙂   Created by the exceptional artists working with my publisher, Creativia, this new cover exceeds any of my expectations and has me smiling like a Cheshire cat!!!

.
Winner of 2016 Readers Favorite 5-Star Review & Recommendation; Winner of 2016 New Apple Award for Excellence in Fantasy; Winner of 2017 Golden Book Award for Readers Choice and Judges Selection; and Winner of 2017 Book of the Year by Fresh Lifestyle Magazine. Dark Fey The Reviled is an epic fantasy filled with suspense, mystery, action, magic and romance. It shares the inspiration of hope; the resilience of love, and the power of forgiveness through a tale that is rich with beauty and horror alike.

Ayla has an especially rare combination of magical gifts: empathic telepathy, discernment, and the gift of healing.  Gairynzvl was abducted by The Reviled at the age of seven and suffered the intentionally cruel process of neglect, abuse and deprivation is designed to turn childfey from the Light.  Now, fifteen years later, he is a Dark One. He comes in shadows and silence; lingering near Ayla and trying to communicate with her.

Through her extraordinary gifts, she listens to him when no others will; she touches his pain and cannot turn aside from helping him, but the conflict with The Reviled that unfolds is exceedingly costly, pushing them to their limits and forcing them to grow beyond them.

The slurking emptiness of the portal spiraled in confounding directions, blackness folding upon darkness, disorientating and robbing him of every sense. Silence filled his hearing, emptiness touched his hands, and piercing blackness robbed his sight as he forced himself to step through the numbing cold nothingness.  Three steps, Gairynzvl had told him; three steps and he would be through the portal, but in the darkness where he lost all perception, including that of his own body, he could not be sure how many steps he had taken and the slowly turning abyss offered no perspective.  Wholly uncertain, Evondair took another step.

The scrunch of gravel beneath his boots reoriented his senses as he took a final step and found himself standing on a dusty, barren track of greyish gravel surrounded by jagged outcroppings of bare rock.  A fetid stench hung upon the thin air and leaching downward from a colourless sky, sooty rain in the form of a heavy mist shrouded everything.   As the remaining Liberators crossed into the Uunglarda, Evondair moved away from the portal and gazed around curiously; yet even as he sought to familiarize himself with the empty wasteland stretching away before him in both directions and ignore the malodorous stench that made him snort in disgust more than once, he reached out through his exceptional gift of discernment.

The action was instinctual; a means of understanding his surroundings and those within it, but opening his mind to the darkness of the Uunglarda was not only an ill-conceived idea, but a thoroughly dangerous endeavor and he instantly regretted it.  With the force of a rushing tide, desperate loneliness and unremitting anguish poured into his being, overwhelming him so completely that he raised his hands to cover his eyes and doubled over with physical pain.  Memories as scathing as a lashing torment serrated through his thoughts; sadistic brutality and remorseless cruelty that drew a profound groan from behind his clenched teeth before the irrepressible tears of more souls than he could number pressed into him like a thousand blades.

He did not say a word, in truth he could not, but as the waves of despair and suffering sought to drag him into the colourless shadows and ensnare him, he fought to withdraw his discernment from the darkness even as it grasped and clawed at his mind like a ravaging monster.  He could have screamed; he could have cried bitter tears; he could have cursed repeatedly in fluent Dlalth as the comprehension of the dark language of the Reviled filled his mind as clearly as his own did, but he did none of these things. As the deluge of misery wrenched at his mind and heart and the dejectedness of the lost Fey of the Light tore at his sanity, he centered his thoughts on the only thing in all of existence that was capable of defeating the darkness.  Filling his mind’s eye with an image of bright, clear, sparkling Light, he focused his attention on the wails and screams shattering his thoughts and answered their cries for mercy with the strongest weapon at his disposal.

Unspoken, yet heard as clearly as thunder rolling across the scorched heavens, the compassionate love that filled his entire spirit reached outward benevolently, silencing the calamitous uproar as a breathless pause stretched across the gloom.

A Wonderful Introduction to a very unique, exceptionally exciting tale that I highly recommend. I’ve enjoyed Book One and Two myself and am chomping at the bit for the finale 🙂

Sue Vincent's Daily Echo

I’m very grateful to the wonderful Sue Vincent for allowing me space on her site to introduce my new book. But not just yet. What! Is he mad?

Well, some might say yes and others might agree with them. However, instead of bombarding people with book links, I wanted to explain why. Why The Eternals and the three books the idea spawned?

Time

Time is such a tiny word to explain such a pivotal force. How important is time to us as those who dwell in it? I can only speak for myself when I say time is precious. But would time be more or less important to those who have all eternity to live? It’s probably fair to say less. What about if after aeons of time, and enjoying every minute of it, someone said your time’s up? Hmm, what then?

Those who are neither human nor vampire, those…

#FridayFeyDay – A Treasure of a Review

As a writer, I am sure you might agree that it is truly gratifying when a reader connects with the characters you’ve created and becomes enmeshed in the saga you’ve poured your heart and soul into, but it is intrinsically indescribable when that reader truly comprehends the pulse that moves those characters and the depth of the message you’ve laboured so hard to weave into the tale (without it truly being evident that there is, in fact, a message).

So I simply had to share this wonderful review of Dark Fey The Reviled, not simply because it’s so marvelous, but more importantly, because it expresses so beautifully what that message is and how it touched this particular reader.

“The Reviled, by Cynthia Morgan is a treasure. In addition to providing a compelling story with well-developed characters and a refreshingly unique world of mythical beings, Morgan’s writing invokes amazing imagery that helps the reader truly envision the events depicted and the pain, angst, sorrow, joy and fear the characters enjoy. Centered around the character Ayla and her considerable magical abilities, readers learn of the Land of Fey and its inhabitants along with The Reviled who seek to corrupt the Fey of Light, first kidnapping and then corrupting the innocent. It is this very act that helps bring such incredible depth to Morgan’s Fantasy Realm and the novel’s characters as reader’s see how each person, no matter their allegiance, is a merging of light and darkness; a reality that shows the depths of frailty even the strongest combatants, hero or villain, have to endure. I will give away no spoilers. However, I will say this first book of the series provides a great ending that will have readers eager to read future books in the series.”

In the Moonlight

.

Today I am sharing three teasers of interactions between the two lead characters of Dark Fey:  the Dark Fey Gairynzvl and Ayla, a Fey of the Light offering a glimpse into the changing complexity of their relationship.  In this second teaser, from book two of the trilogy (Standing in Shadows), they begin to explore the romantic side of their relationship.

.

Drawing her out of the Chamber of Jollity into the dimly lighted corridor beyond, he sought a secluded corner, pulling her urgently along with him until he came upon a window at the end of the long hallway.  There, in the luminous glow of moonlight, he turned round and embraced her with a deep moan, caressing her with the tips of his wings as their thoughts melded in sighs.  Running his hands along her arms, he grasped her more firmly, pulling her upward against him while he stared hungrily at her; then, he lowered his head to kiss her.

Slowly.

Purposefully.

When you write a book, you naturally hope it will be received well.  You honestly wish people will like it, maybe even love it; and perhaps in the process it may gain some measure of notable attention.  I felt the same when I pressed the publish button on Kindle Direct Publishing in April of 2014 in order to launch my dream Dark Fey The Reviled on its journey.

Today, I have received notification that it has been awarded it’s 5th award.  No, I promise Im not trumpeting my own tune. My point is merely to try to express the amazement and elation I continue to feel as this story that has taken my heart and soul continues to touch others and reach across divides.

So it is with all humility (and a keen sense of appreciation!) that I make this humble request.  If you enjoyed Dark Fey or if you enjoy my writing and care to support me, might you consider taking a moment to visit Golden Book Publishing and vote for Dark Fey The Reviled in their Fantasy Category for Reader’s Choice Award?

Thank You for sharing my excitement and Delight!

My Heartfelt Appreciation is Yours 🙂

***An excerpt from Dark Fey: Standing In Shadows, where Mardan and Gairynzvl find themselves, yet again, across purposes; yet in this scene Gairynzvl surprises everyone….***

Getting up from the place near the hearth where he sat meditatively, Mardan fixed his wings with resolute purpose and moved towards the Dark One brooding on the opposite side of the room, yet even as he walked nearer, Gairynzvl turned aside, unable even to entertain the possibility of  another quarrel with the quick-tempered Celebrant, but when Mardan reached him, he stood wordlessly for a moment before speaking.

“She cannot help it, you know that.”  Mardan reminded him, tempering his own annoyance with Ayla’s perpetual emotional frailty with as much insight as he could manage.  Moving closer to speak more confidentially, Mardan lowered his voice to nearly a whisper.

“I cannot comfort her; she will not allow me close to her in the shadows and confusion that have enveloped her.  It would seem that you are the only one, at present, who can.”  He did not realize what he was saying, but his words rang in Gairynzvl’s thoughts as the Elder’s questions, put to him just days before, resounded in his thoughts.

Will you share your strength of purpose, your tenacity and resilience with her where there are only shadows of confusion?  Will you comfort her even when there is no comfort to be found?

Returning Mardan’s piercing gaze, he shook his head subtly, speaking in an equally soft tone so that only he could hear.

“It was not my intention to steal her from you.”

I Cant Help Feeling Proud and had to share this exciting news.

Dark Fey The Reviled has been awarded the Fresh Lifestyle Magazine Great Reads Book Award 🙂

“Congratulations to Cynthia  Morgan for receiving The Fresh Lifestyle Magazine BOOK AWARD  for her riveting, compelling and completely engrossing book, “The Reviled, Dark Fey”.  As I  was reading her book I became totally immersed into a world of Magic and Mystery; into a realm of Beauty and Enchantment, into an intense adventure for your Mind and Spirit that will leave you yearning for more.   The book is a fantasy set in the primordial forests of mystical time in a land peopled by both Light-loving and Darkness-revering Faeriekind.

I must admit that this book is one of the best fantasy novels that I have read! A genuinely original story that is beautifully told. Morgan’s books are stunning and thought-provoking.” – Kimberly Perry – Publisher, Editor, Public Speaker & Author

.

The original inspiration for the story was given to Morgan in a very vivid dream. The main character stepped out of the shadows of the dream and demanded her full attention as he told her his story so vehemently. She finally had to sit down and start writing what he showed her. Morgan believes the message the story relates came into being partially as a result of learning about the LRA (Lord’s Resistance Army) in Uganda, a group of militant rebels who have been abducting children for over 20 years, integrating them into their army through abuse and cruelty, and forcing them to endure lives of violence.  She was moved in her spirit by such a horrifying truth that she chose to share a similar story.  However, unlike our own reality where this atrocity continues even today, the Fey of Jyndari choose to change their world by taking Positive Action through Sacrifice, Acceptance and Forgiveness.  It is Morgan’s greatest hope to be able to donate a portion from the sales of The Dark Fey to UNICEF’s work in Uganda where they actively rehabilitate the children affected by the LRA.

I just happened upon this 4 out of 4 Stars official Online Book Club review of Dark Fey The Reviled (Oh I Needed this today!)  OnlineBookClub.org is a free site for readers that has been around for over 10 years, before smartphones even!  They have a professional review team, so garnering any sort of review from them is wonderful.  Earning the coveted 4 out of 4 is enough to send my already Off-my-trolly happiness into the realms of chuffed-beyond-intelligible-expression!
 
“Of all the characters in this novel… my favorite is Gairynzvl. He has so many layers of emotion and strength so that I was overwhelmed…… The story was pieced together well so that the reader struggles to put it down…I rate this book a 4 out of 4 stars and recommend it to readers.”
 
Thank You Madison Degraffenreid, I cannot tell you how Delighted I am you enjoyed Dark Fey The Reviled and I am honoured by your review.

I wanted to take a moment to say Thank You, Truly, Thank You from my Heart
Red heart

This is not a post about me blowing my own horn or singing my own accolades, I promise.  It’s me taking the very Important time to Realize and Appreciate all the blessings that have come my way in just one year.

A month or so back I posted an invitation to vote for Dark Fey The Reviled, which was up for commendation through Golden Box Books Publishing Reader’s Choice Award. Yesterday I was excited and thoroughly delighted to learn that, with YOUR help and Kind votes, The Reviled received that award and has been advanced to the finalist stage.

This award has truly made me Pause to take stock of all that has happened in this past year.  So often Blessings come along and we take them for granted, as well as those persons who helped make them possible.  So I wanted to take this opportunity to Thank YOU, as well as the Source of All Blessings, for every Amazing and Joyfully tearful moment I have enjoyed this year.

In March my life-long Dream of being published came true when I was accepted by Creativia Publications.  Both book covers got a facelift and throughout the year sales have increased beyond my expectations.

Throughout the year, Dark Fey and I have been featured on numerous websites and blogs, including interviews by notable authors Stevie Turner and Lit World Interviews; the well-known Novel Writing Festival; Interview and Book Review by Author Lisa Haselston; Character Focus/Spotlights by Author Brittany Willows as well as Roari Benjamin; and Interviews with notable author Aurora Jean Alexander

In April I was accpeted into the Poetry Society of America

In May Dark Fey The Reviled attained a 5-Star Reader’s Favorite Review and Recommendation

In June Dark Fey Standing In Shadows attained a 5-Star Reader’s Favorite Review and Recommendation

In June I was also accepted as a contributing author by My Trending Stories.com

In August Dark Fey The Reviled won the 2016 New Apple Literary Book Award for Excellence in Fantasy 

and Throughout the year Dark Fey The Reviled, as well as Standing In Shadows have gained marvelous 4 and 5 Star reviews on Amazon.

To say that I am Thankful, Grateful, Appreciative and Overwhelmed would be an understatement proportionate to saying the Antarctic is a tropical climate, but not taking time to SAY Thank You would be even more grievous, at least in my book(nvolume).

Shadows dissipate

.

Closing her eyes, she cast her senses outward, like blowing out a candle and watching the smoke extend in all directions from the source; she sought to touch him once again, seeking an answer to the question that had been tumbling in her mind since their last encounter, regardless of the amount of time she had spent attempting to quell her thoughts in ancient readings.  She touched other creatures briefly, disengaging almost instantly after discerning that the thoughts she sought were not there.  Doe stealing quietly through undergrowth, a vixen crying under the moon in search of her mate, the nightly sojourning owl fluffing its feathers against the cold; all quiet, all innocent, none coming closer to her.

Then her thoughts touched a dark, brooding, ethereal presence.  She gasped in surprise at the fervor of emotion that washed over her mind and stepped back in response to the pounding, breathless onslaught; her eyes snapped open and she stood in astonished silence, her mouth falling slightly agape as she realized the one she touched was not who she thought!

black-tent

.

Darkness spiraled upon billows of smoke swirling in the raucous clamor of the reeking village and shadows lurched within the thick bleakness.  Through this writhing miasma, a barely perceptible shape moved along the main roadway travelling more rapidly than the ordinary onlooker might track, heading towards the only black tent in camp.

No sounds came from this tent, not any longer, although the cries of a childfey had recently been heard echoing through the neighboring hovels and unkempt buildings lining the street; sounds that had caused many of the resident Dark Ones to withdraw to the farthest end of town or drink more fervently from the nearest bottle.  This tent was known for its horrors.  It was the Centurion’s tent and he frequently took pleasure in causing pain.

. An Excerpt from Dark Fey Standing In Shadows.  The Black Tent of the Centurion of the Reviled Legionnaires strikes fear into even the hardest of the Reviled and with good reason.  Sadistically cruel and dedicated to serving the darkness, the Centurions are monsters that All seek to avoid.  This scene not only hints at their ruthlessness, but, more importantly, begins to indicate that even the Reviled cannot bear the heartless treatment of childfey.
