“Just because the war is over, doesn’t mean the story is.” What happens after a 10-year war? Unity brought the Mortal, Fire, Ice and Earth Nations together to defeat Skull, a pirate army desperate to merge the supernatural world with the mortal. 19-year-old Azar Geminus finds himself at the centre of a bizarre, supernatural mystery. With the war at an end, and his heart broken, his only goal is to reunite with his parents. But this proves more challenging than expected when he learns that they have gone missing. Whilst the city he has lived in all his life begins to expose the darkness that dwells within, Azar finds himself changing in ways he cannot control. As betrayal, mystery, and danger close in around him, Azar realises that there are three sides to every story: the Nations, the supernatural, and the truth. As one war ends, another, much more personal, is just beginning. And when the fate of the Nations rests on lies, who else can he rely on other than himself?
Matt has had a passion for storytelling from a young age. He was always inspired by the magic that came from reading fiction novels, the experience of escaping reality to find a world just between the page and reader. He has studied at Macquarie University in Sydney to become an English teacher for secondary schools with hopes to reignite creative skills and allow students to embrace imaginative writing with an open mind. Since finishing high school 2015, Matt's goal was to write a novel that allowed readers of all ages to relate to within a fictional world.
