Silver Light
Walde has inherited a forbidden power from his father, enabling him to commune with Thara, an enigmatic being that lives deep in the earth. Walde thinks he can keep this power a secret, but one day he slips. His father is blamed and executed, the body placed on a raft and sent down a rushing river. Walde breaks free and goes after him...only to discover that the execution was staged. Very much alive, his father floats off to a mysterious end. During Walde’s perilous journey to rescue him, he learns what is truly at stake: not only his father, but also his people’s entire way of life.

W.K. Greyling
W.K. Greyling writes stories that feel like they’ve drifted in from an older world, the kind of tales where forests hold their breath and forgotten songs linger in the air. Living in Nova Scotia, she draws inspiration from landscapes steeped in mist and sea-light, as well as from the medieval and Renaissance music she curates for Ancient FM. That music becomes part of her writing ritual, shaping the rhythm and cadence of her prose.
Her first fantasy duology, The Aure series (Beneath the Roots and White Bird), introduced readers to a realm threaded with winged peoples, cursed woods, and the kind of quiet magic that unsettles as much as it enchants. Influenced by writers like William Morris, Patricia A. McKillip, and Robin Hobb, Greyling leans toward lyrical fantasy that favors atmosphere, character growth, and emotional resonance over spectacle.
