The Trilogy Closes...



The Zidu'Si is nearly complete. After trapping four of the Gizzu'Su in the gugtu prison below what was once the Zig'Mada, Ereshkigal, Queen of the Netherworld, is weakened and seeking her fellow dark Sumerians. While Shuran has brought Bastien back and accepted him to the Zidu'Si, there is yet many questions left unanswered.

How will the Zidu'Si defeat the ancient evil lurking in the Shadow? Who are the spies among the people of Britengate? What is the meaning behind the twin stars of the prophecy? What happens when the Gizzu'Su break free and rejoin the Shadow?


These questions will be answered in this third installment of the fantasy quest series of the Chronicles of Aurderia. The magic of dragons has already changed and the elemental magic forces of Ersetu are awakening. The witches of the swamps have joined with the Shadow and Salmetu is growing in power.
Blending fantasy and science fiction with a twist on Sumerian mythology, this third book will bring a fresh dive into the tropes and cliches of the classic fantasy novel.
