Where to start the
“Epilogue of Kings” series?

Fourteen years ago, twelve boys vanished.
Four years later, half of them returned—on horseback, scarred and wordless.
Salje's brother was not among them.


Salje has learned to survive, but when dreams of her missing brother haunt her, she believes he’s alive and needs her help. Confronting his mysterious friends, the Returned, opens a door to Asydiar, a realm of fractured kingdoms, elven cities, and brutal magic.
Time runs out for her brother when her connection to him suddenly severs. The price for new information is steep, and Salje is entirely dependent on the brooding Aaron and his charming friend Valerio—one a former king and mage, the other his loyal general and the realm’s finest swordsman.
Salje’s growing feelings only complicate matters.

A dark tale of love, power, and war.

For readers of Danielle L. Jensen, Carissa Broadbent, Sabaa Tahir, and classics like The Chronicles of Narnia.

What readers are saying:

Loved by readers of dark fantasy romance, portal fantasy, and morally grey heroes.

The characters are really the strength of Epilogue of Kings, all so well written, fun, deep, strong and appealing.

The Author

Elisabeth G. Mark has been a fashion photographer for almost nine years, but she's been writing for twice as long. At seventeen, she finished her first novel, which she published under a pseudonym in writing forums, where she found her first readership. Since then, she has never stopped writing, completing several more books. For over seven years, she has carried the story of Salje, Valerio, and Aaron in her heart.

She lives in Vienna with her husband and is working on the sequels to "Epilogue of Kings" and a second project, "Bloodgrove," a dark, gothic romance duology.
