by C. Gold (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.8 out of 5 stars 9 ratings
Hedgewitch Marjery's recent Vision spells doom for the world: The evil warlock king Diarmid plans to use the upcoming eclipse to raise an army of demons to enslave the world. The only person who has a chance of stopping him is her husband, the Archmage Ecksander.

But Ecksander faced Diarmid once before and almost died. Four years later, he still bears the scars from that battle and now his mind is failing.

In one last adventure together, husband and wife square off to face evil in a deadly confrontation that will decide the fate of the world.

This is a standalone short story in the Darklight Universe inspired by the Aug 21, 2017 eclipse event.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

C. Gold is an avid World of Warcraft gamer and book reader. She enjoys multiple genres, but her favorites are fantasy, science fiction, urban fantasy, paranormal, and romance.

After retiring from a career of torturing software (perks of a software tester), she could no longer hold back the flow of ideas demanding to be written. This also let her unleash new torments on unsuspecting characters, though they got even by doing things not in her outlines!

She favors writing about the broken, the unusual, and the shades of grey between right and wrong. Her worlds are influenced by her background in electrical engineering, physics, and computer science as well as her love of authors like Barbara Hambly, Janny Wurts, Isaac Asimov, and Arthur C. Clarke.

If you join her newsletter, you can get a free copy of ‘The Vampire’s Raven’ as well as flashbacks into Amira’s life before the events of ‘The Summoner and the Seer’.

    This was a very well written book with fantastic character development, a good story, and huge potential for more books. In a sense, it reminded me of The Wheel of Time series without the extra hundred pages of fluff to relay to the leader of what was going on with the main character, and the dangers to the world seemed akin to the Aliens movie series with a magical twist to it. It is an engaging read and look forward to reading further titles from C. Gold.

    This genre is completely out of my element, but the cover caught my eye. The author did an amazing job of storytelling in this short story. The characters' relationship, quest, future - all encompassing, which goes to Gold's writing skills. Read this. You will love it!

    I found it amazing how much characterization and pathos the author was able to pack into this short story, and still have room left over for plot, world building and theme. An exciting magical adventure with the ability to move you to sadness, tears and hope.

    Great story. Loved the characters relationship and how it was portrayed. The memory loss of Ecksander was tragic but showed real emotion in the way it was presented.

    4.0 out of 5 stars The Eclipse like you never imagined it. The beginning of an exciting new series!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2017
    I had the lucky opportunity to read this book before release.
    This is my unbiased opinion.

    Gold spins an intriguing tale that draws the reader in, while also planting many seeds for the rest of the series. By the end of this short I was immersed in her world and desperate to know more. I'm extremely excited about the next installation and the impact evil warlords like Diarmud may play in them.

    It was extra fun reading this on the day of the solar eclipse, giving the momentous​ occasion a little bit of magic and mystery to it!
