Colors of Magic

Where we come from does not define where we go

A long time ago, Abomination almost succeeded.

A man who had lost everything found something to have faith in.

A child of the desert found a Master of Blades in a cold forest far from home.

A half-Avari struggling to find a place for himself has his life implode around him.

These stories from the past, both distant and near, are collected into this anthology. Nine short stories featuring Hades, Jak, Sukra, Ander, and more offer a glimpse into life at different moments on Gaia. As magic pulses through the world in a spectrum of colors, how will it shape the characters we have come to know in Blades of the Goddess?

Colors of Magic is a companion anthology to the Blades of the Goddess series, which is fantasy series with urban and sci-fi elements. This series will appeal to all ages, especially fans of the Shannara Chronicles, the Chronicles of Amber, and the Heralds of Valdemar. 

The Blades of the Goddess series tells a story of cyclical calamity in a world both like and unlike ours.

Everyone has magic, and every magic has a color. Set in the years before Lost Blades, Colors of Magic is like the "flashback" episode of your favorite TV show - going back in time to see events that preceded the main series. Each of the nine short stories follows a different character and reveals something about the world of Gaia.

"I am really surprised about the variety here. I think we all have come to expect certain feelings and settings with certain colors. And there are certainly examples of that here. But more often than not, you’ll find a certain colors us generating feelings in you that are very foreign!" - Cat Bowser

"Seriously, the first few stories start out with some mind-blowing reveals about Hades, Abomination, and Gaia itself. If you’re truly a fan of the series, then you’ll love how much shine some of your favorite characters get. Also a lot of the lore that is hinted at in Lost Blades is finally revealed here." - Eric Kao

"Seeing the course of Abomination, the hardships it caused for so many, and the resolve and faith people found through it all, is really inspiring. As with all other books in The Blades of the Goddess series, this book draws you in and sticks. I couldn't stop wondering what would happen next, I laughed, I cried, I was scared and excited." - Bookalyptic
