Synopsis

Some bells summon the faithful to prayer. Across Jyn, they scream for war…

Torn from her home and taken across a fractured kingdom, Princess Sarna wants to survive captivity, but a strange bond with Luca, her captor and unexpected guardian, makes it harder to know whom to fear.

As an ancient power awakens within her, Sarna must decide whether to trust the outlaw who sees what she truly is, while her brother, Prince Shayan, confronts their father’s deepening madness. Meanwhile, in the shawos, a vengeful enemy summons an evil spirit to help them take revenge. The consequences of this will be nothing less than apocalyptic.

If the siblings cannot defeat the forces closing in on them, Sarna’s awakening could cost her everything, and her brother inherits a kingdom of ashes.

For readers of The Wheel of Time and The Witcher, The Atrocity Bells begins an epic dark fantasy duology filled with forbidden power, royal intrigue, monstrous evil, looming war, and a slow-burn captor-and-captive romance where trust carries a dangerous price.

About the Author

Lee Anderson is an American novelist, short story writer, playwright, and founder of Palm Circle Press. His fiction draws on the contrast between his upbringing in Florida and the years he spent in New York City, and ranges from literary fiction and dark fantasy to horror, crime, and the surreal.

Since the early 1990s, Anderson's work has appeared in numerous literary journals and newspapers, including The New Times - Broward/Palm Beach, Broadkill Review, Remington Review, Citron Review, Fictional Café, Fiction International, and The Miami Herald. In 2023, he published Dark Lords of the Trailer Park, a collection of his short fiction.

His horror novel What Happened at Sisters Creek (2023) became an Amazon bestseller, while his dark fantasy series, The Lost Books of Jyn—Book One: The Atrocity Bells (2021) and Book Two: The Apocalypse Wedding (2024)—has earned praise from readers and reviewers for its ambitious world-building and imagination.
