ABOUT THIS SERIES

The Saga of the Chyrons is a dark, complex and fast-moving story of , revenge, courage, trust and betrayal that spans the generations and continually springs surprises and plot twists. The story is told over nine books and is an epic tale encompassing a desperate struggle for power amongst the rulers of Arcaikos, set against a background of sorcery and outside forces slowly destroying a land intended to become a paradise by its creators. 

The land is blighted by Chyrons, invisible elemental forces that add their unlimited energy to natural events turning them into disasters. Historically, the Chyrons were controlled and suppressed by the Veleta, a gifted sect able to wield the ever-present elemental power to maintain calm and increase prosperity. However, in the years preceding the birth of Belenus Wardyne, natural events like storms, wildfires and earthquakes often became more severe because the Veleta had sunk into complacency. At first, changes occurred slowly but as time passed, ancient cities such as Kurion became uninhabitable because of the creeping cold and he population of Sulya was decimated by disease and drought. Deserts encroached in the south  half burying Sulya and meaning Peryalis had to be abandoned when its water supply failed. 

To counter their decreasing popularity and overcome by a thirst for power, some ambitious members of the Veleta tried to shift control of the elemental power from its guardian in Sulya, to the Isle of Lallant, The Spirits were angered and the entire Veleta cult was punished by an alarming reduction in their powers and knowledge. 

This event unfortunately coincided with the sudden rise to power of the despised and violent Belenus Wardyne of Cazam Goral who sought revenge on all the other rulers of Arcaikos, having been reviled and bullied by them all his life. Having caused the cruel death of the only woman he ever wanted, Belenus travelled to  distant lands until he met Becuma of Sulya, a 'lovesick' immortal, who revealed a secret relic in return for his favours. Belenus stole the relic, The Heart of Sulyan, and partook of it in a dark ritual. Becuma told him it would give him longevity, and additional powers and promised eventual immortality. This appealed  because he had been born without the usual Veleta powers meaning he could not control Chyrons and therefore protect his people. 

The evil relic soon grew in power, seducing others, including some Veleta, to partake, causing violence, mistrust and fear to spread. 

Belenus and his Master Guardian Ignatius, set up the Cult of Sulyan, little realising that their ceremonies and relics were providing dark power to the Chyrons and encouraging their excesses. A long civil war, known as the Terror, ensued as Belenus insisted and enforced the active compliance of all the people in the cult's ceremonies. 

The Dragons, living a parallel existence in this land and having a different mindset from the people, at first refused to share their knowledge to aid the Veleta because they lived in fear of a great secret being revealed to the growing numbers of partakers of the Heart. The remaining Veleta could only hope that the old prophecy concerning the appearance of the Osanë (Saviours ) would come true soon and that they would defeat the partakers and restore the Veleta's powers. 

After years of persecution, the remaining Veleta, led by some of the Caelan family, who had been living in hiding, decide to fight on, convinced they can overcome the evil that stalks their land. Bravely, they set out on quests to discover ways to destroy partakers and the Heart but they face great danger, betrayal and misunderstanding wherever they go. 

The occasional reappearance and misguided actions of the Triune, three very unsettling, naïve but cunning young sorceresses with one joined mind and limitless power, is a recurring threat. Their constant interference puts the Veleta's schemes in danger of failure and as their power and unpredictability grows they pose yet another crucial danger. As time passes, the evil relic, the Heart of Sulyan, grows in power, beguiling more people to partake and destroying trust and relationships. The Caelan family and their allies must overcome this treachery, destroy Belenus and his son Drystyn and control the Triune before they too succumb to the evil influence of the Heart. 

Meanwhile, the Chyrons cause irreversible damage to the land by enhancing  storms, floods, wildfires and earthquakes with increased severity.  Increasingly, the land is in danger of returning to the chaos out of which it was created. 

Can the Caelan put their hope in the coming of the Osanë and the fulfilment of the ancient prophecies? They must fight, using all their powers, to save Arcaikos, its people and its Dragons, from extinction and perhaps achieve the promised paradise envisaged by its creators but to do this, ultimately,  they must discover who wants this ideal creation to fail and why, and then find the ways and means of defeating an unexpected and complex enemy.
