Description
A king destined to rule. A priest determined to protect his land. A demon out to Create chaos. A princess with her eyes on the throne.
When a demon murders the regent, young King Elmes leaves his island palace and sails north to conquer a frozen wilderness rich in resources his people have squandered –and of course, hunt down the demon. Elmes has no doubt he’ll prevail. After all, he is great like his ancestors.
But the land is already home to half-wild barbarians led by an immortal priest, who are used to weather more savage than any warrior. With a court losing confidence and a wife set on keeping the crown no matter whose head it sits on, the decisions at home prove the greater danger.
With mounting threats on all sides, Elmes wins his empire, but his arrogance leaves him cursed and trapped in the north. Without his armies, his magic, or even his own name, Elmes must face his selfishness and irresponsibility to preserve what truly matters: his young son’s life.
Advance Praise
"What a beautiful book. Illustrated at each chapter break, based upon an old roleplay between the authors, Sul is a character driven fantasy tale with a lot to like.
The plot gets going quickly and I was buoyed along by curiosity for the characters and their fates. The relationships between the cast are the driving forces in the various narrative threads. It pulls no punches and goes for the heart where it can, and I want a sequel soon!
The world is beautifully built, I expect as a result of the authors RP-ing this setting and thinking about strange little details for a long time. It bleeds through constantly, decorating the narrative with context and history. There's some real deep lore here.
I don't remember the last time I read a book with illustrations, and the art is just incredible. I stopped at each chapter to appreciate the work, and it is a different experience reading something with visuals to match the descriptions. I loved it.
In closing, I had a good time with Sul and would like to read the (obviously intended) sequel. Oh, and whilst I pronounce it "SOOL", Jacqui says it "SUHL", and I would take her word over mine on this matter."
