Syzygy Revealed
by James W. Lackie

---

Convergence. The dark threads of fate are drawing the greatest powers in the universe towards an inevitable and explosive conjunction. Alexander Cadeyrn returns to the world after decades in exile. His experiences have left him scarred and broken, with only vengeance in his heart—vengeance against his father, the immortal avatar Saelen, and the two fractured versions of himself that now call themselves kings. Cillian Domhnal, embodying the dark aspects of Alexander’s nature, has poisoned Bryn’Meadhn culture. Under the guise of creating prosperity, Cillian has perverted their values to prize greed, selfishness, and cruelty. As his enemies close in, he casts aside all pretences and embraces his desire for destruction and chaos, squeezing every drop of pleasure from the pain that he inflicts. Meanwhile, Wendell Domhnal, embodying the light aspects of Alexander’s nature, has been crowned king and has finally harnessed the great power inside him, though he still doubts himself. With his motley crew of unlikely friends and the woman he loves, he assembles an army and leads it north, hoping to cure the blight that Cillian has gleefully unleashed in Bryn’Meadhn. With universal destruction at the hands of a despotic avatar looming, can balance finally be restored when Alexander, Cillian, and Wendell finally face their own reflections? Syzygy Revealed, the third book in the Reflections of Shadow trilogy, concludes the epic fantasy journey that weaves a multi-dimensional exploration of sociopathy into elements of classic myth, visceral horror, and cosmic/elemental power.
