The Arcane America Series - 2: Council of Fire

More about the book

Halley’s Comet strikes Earth in 1759, splitting the New World from the Old and altering nature itself. A mountain range rises in the Mid-Atlantic, severing all maritime connections. Those who attempt to cross mysteriously vanish. The comet’s most significant impact is the emergence of real magic and terrifying monsters: a kraken in the Atlantic, revenants in Jamaica, and various horrors unleashed in New York. The political landscape also shifts dramatically as the Iroquois Confederacy crumbles. Seneca and Cayuga tribes follow a sinister shaman, while the Mohawks ally with the English. The English and French must now consider an unprecedented unification under a young English prince, the last royal blood in the New World. In this enchanted land, royal lineage grants unexpected powers, but if Prince Edward fails to control them, he risks destruction and a New World dominated by monsters. The series features historical figures like George Washington and Paul Revere, creating a rich alternate history. Readers will appreciate the intricate worldbuilding and historical nuances, including colonial politics and Native cultures. The narrative blends action with a poetic portrayal of nature and authentic depictions of Native tribes. The authors balance excitement with a rational optimism, crafting a compelling story that resonates with fans of historical fantasy.
