THE RIVER THAT DRANK THE SUN
A Dark Epic Fantasy NovelBy Julian Pierre
Length49m
About this audiobook
For a thousand years, the Sable River has divided two enemy tribes: the Liora, healers of the western forests, and the Aru, warriors of the eastern ashlands. Both believe the river exists to protect them from one another.
They are wrong.
When Naira, a young healer, secretly meets Kael, an Aru warrior haunted by buried truths, they uncover evidence that the endless war between their people was never natural. Hidden beneath generations of hatred lies an ancient conspiracy tied to the river itself and to a forgotten force sleeping beneath its black waters.
As betrayal spreads through both tribes and the fragile seal beneath the river begins to fail, Naira and Kael are forced into an impossible choice: preserve the lies that kept their world alive, or risk everything for the truth.
*The River That Drank the Sun* is a dark epic fantasy of forbidden love, ancient gods, political deception, and the terrible price of breaking cycles built on fear.
