Beschreibung

The Emerald Guardians - Hougun Manor by Josiah Cornell A groundbreaking dark epic fantasy that is as immersive as it is gripping. When war-scarred warrior Talon Valskar forges an unbreakable bond with the last emerald dragon, Myrcanthor, he is thrust into a destiny he never sought. Together, they must defend Hougun Manor, a living fortress rooted in Britain's ancient ley lines-against the rising power of Daegrith, the Dream-Eater, whose twisted sorcery threatens to unravel the fabric of the world itself. As Talon endures three harrowing trials-courage, wisdom, and sacrifice, he is stripped of everything he thought he was. What remains is a man caught between vengeance and duty, and a dragon bound to him by shared breath and heartbeat. Their fate is inseparable, their choices devastating. Blending dazzling myth, raw human struggle, and unrelenting suspense, The Emerald Guardians - Hougun Manor is an unputdownable page-turner. It reimagines the dragon-human bond in a way that is both innovative and timeless, creating a fantasy that feels startlingly unique in today's landscape. This is fantasy that is not only captivating but also terrifying in its scope, exploring power, sacrifice, and what it truly means to be bound to something older than gods themselves. Fans of The Witcher, The Poppy War, and The Priory of the Orange Tree will find themselves drawn into a world of myth and ruin, where every choice comes at a cost and no victory is without scars. Josiah Cornell delivers a debut that is intense, emotional, and unforgettable. A true must-read for lovers of dark, character-driven fantasy.

Autor

The Emerald Guardians: Hougun Manor is Josiah's debut novel-a work he never intended to write. What began as a reluctant challenge, born of sleepless nights, unwavering determination, and a constant battle with self-doubt, transformed into a vivid realm spun from the threads of imagination and keystrokes. Literature had always seemed out of reach for him, and his beloved author, Poppy Z. Brite, penned in a style far removed from the epic fantasy that unfolds in these pages. Yet, inspired by his partner's passion for grand storytelling and the mastery of voices like Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros, Josiah found himself crafting a tale of magic, destiny, and defiance. This book was born from love, with his partner embodying the heart of the narrative-Lord Talon of Hougun Manor. Here, fantasy and reality entwine, much like Josiah's own deep connection to Hougun Manor in Cumbria. That bond became more than mere inspiration; his partner now holds the noble title of Lord of Hougun Manor, a fitting tribute to their shared love of legend and myth. Beyond the written word, Josiah's journey is defined by purpose and resilience. Whether working as a probation officer in Hornchurch, Essex, or later in procurement for Havering Council, he dedicated himself to the rehabilitation and reintegration of ex-offenders. His real-life experiences with redemption and second chances mirror the transformative themes woven throughout The Emerald Guardians - Hougun Manor, reminding us that even the most unexpected paths can lead to profound change. This novel stands as a testament to perseverance and the raw power of storytelling-a reminder that some stories demand to be told, even when their creator hesitates. More than anything, The Emerald Guardians - Hougun Manor is a tribute to his partner, Talon Briers-his greatest inspiration and the living legend at the heart of it all.
