Through the Gates of Wrath: The Dance of Force, Book I — Anviletta’s First Song (Literary Edition)
About this ebook
Beyond the gates, he emerged—bloodied, silent, and far from human.
Dallet, a lone warrior reborn through torment, crosses the Steelcrest Mountains—more beast than man, carrying a force few can name, and fewer still could survive. Within him lies a lethal mastery—an instinctive violence shaped by a soul, ancient and unrelenting.
Elowen, tactician of quiet fire and piercing intellect, sees what others miss: the will behind his scars, and the storm that follows in stillness.
Together, they journey toward a realm unraveling. Not by war, but by the slow turning of power into doctrine, and loyalty into fear. Between them, a rare bond forms—drawn first through thought, then forged in silence, where conviction deepens into something unnamed yet undeniable.
From Drealithar’s veiled underworld to Castaloria’s high courts, the world they enter is sacred and savage—haunted by memory, fractured by unseen forces.
Through the Gates of Wrath begins Anviletta’s Crimson Twine—her First Song—yet it opens upon the Silver Thread of Drealithar, not at its birth, but at a later crossing where the strands entwine. In this way, the saga reveals itself: every twine may be entered at its own beginning, and each in time will touch the others. Thus, The Dance of Force unfolds through many First Songs—each a true beginning, yet all bound into one great design, like branches of a single living tree.
A character-driven epic, it is a tale for readers drawn to warrior souls, solemn beauty, and the mythic weight of inner reckoning. If you seek stories that cut deeper—where silence speaks louder than swords, and not all wounds merely bleed—then these pages await you.
