The Cities of A Dying Sun

The Cities of A Dying Sun

by Marissa S. Adams

A companion book to Shadows of A Withering Heart, exploring the various places within the world of Stelladir.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Beneath a dying sun, five cities cling to the last of their glory, each crowned in its own ruin, each surviving by its own myth, hunger, and power.

From the fire-lit halls of Golnix to the marble thrones of Draethen, the world of Stelladir was never built to last, but it will be remembered.

Cities of A Dying Sun is a richly illustrated, lore-heavy companion to the Veil & Valor Chronicles, written for readers who crave depth, history, and the kind of world-building that bleeds magic from every shadowed street.
Told through the fragmented journals of wandering cartographers and royal archivists, this book unveils:

  • The founding myths of Golnix, Draethen, Kael’Theryn, Vharyndell, and Lunareth
  • Political structures, noble houses, and buried histories
  • Temples, trade routes, rebellions, and forgotten gods
  • Hidden lands, strange magic, uncharted regions, and forbidden secrets
  • Culture, cuisine, weapons, legends, art, and the stories whispered beneath the dying sun

Every city is a dream someone refused to wake from.
Every ruin still remembers the hands that built it.
Every truth hides a deeper one.

Perfect for readers of dark fantasy, romantasy, and massive, immersive universes, Cities of A Dying Sun expands Stelladir into a living, breathing world where beauty is a warning, silence is a lie, and history is written in the bones of the land.

A companion to Shadows of A Withering Heart and the Veil & Valor Chronicles.
