Age of Myth

For as long as anyone can remember, the Fhrey have been gods — immortal, untouchable, beyond the reach of human defiance. Then a single act of violence shatters that belief, and the world tilts on its axis. Age of Myth opens at the moment everything changes, pulling readers into a story about ordinary people thrust into impossible roles: a grieving woman who must become a leader, a reluctant warrior who wants nothing to do with the legend forming around him, and a young seer who already knows how badly things can go wrong. The emotional core isn't the clash of civilizations — it's the very human cost of being chosen by history.

Sullivan writes with a clarity and momentum that makes 400 pages feel effortless. His prose stays clean without ever feeling thin, and his character work earns its weight — these aren't archetypes moving through plot mechanics, but people with specific fears and loyalties. As the first book in a prequel series to his Riyria novels, Age of Myth also rewards readers who enjoy watching a mythology being built from the ground up, brick by careful brick.
