A
Light in the Darkness
The
Vault of Kings Book 1
by
Matt Taylor
Genre:
YA Fantasy
For
ten years, the dark mage Maelos has shrouded Evendreil in darkness
and oppression. With no hope in sight, many are struggling to
survive; others pray that their luck will remain. In searching for
answers, Sylas stumbles upon an ancient artifact--a mysterious silver
amulet--that confirms the reality of the fabled Vault of Kings.
Hoping to overthrow Maelos and end his evil reign, Sylas and his
companions set off to find the legendary elemental stones of power
that are needed to unlock the door to the vault. If they are to
succeed in their quest, they must first learn to master the ancient
art of Magick in all of its basic forms: Light, Darkness, Water,
Fire, Nature, and Air. Then they must pray that whatever secret is
contained in the Vault of Kings will be enough to give them the edge
that they need to defeat the most powerful dark mage that the world
has ever seen.

Vault of Kings Book 2
Gelendor
has fallen. Darkness has descended once again. Despite the danger,
Torren has decided to stay in Gelendor to try and form a secret
rebellion while the others make their journey towards Sindmyr, the
Capital of Light. Once there, Sylas and Samara will need to convince
the King of Sindmyr to join their cause and fight back against the
armies of Maelos. To be successful, the two young mages will not only
need to continue to master the ancient art of Light Magick, but also
uncover an ancient secret that has been hidden away beneath the City
of Light for generations. A secret that could prove deadly to any who
attempt to wield it. Most importantly, Sylas will need to prove that
he is worthy to obtain the Stone of Light and unite it with the
ancient silver amulet. With two Elemental Stones of power at his
side, Sylas will bring himself one step closer to completing the key
to the Vault of Kings. One step closer to unlocking the powerful
secret that's been hidden from the world for over a thousand years.
Gelendor has fallen to Darkness, but in the Light...there is still
hope.
I'm
a small town boy from Southeast Idaho. I've wanted to share
my stories and wild imagination with the world for a long
time, and finally decided that now is better than never. I have
loved reading fantasy books ever since I was little, but there was
always something missing, something that I wished that I could add to
the story, to make it mine. Writing a book and putting yourself out
there for the world to see is daunting to say the least, but the joy
and sense of accomplishment you get from seeing your story out there,
for all to read and enjoy is a feeling like none other.
I
hope that you will enjoy the worlds of my mind, and take part in the
adventures that have been hidden from the world, but are now finally
being revealed.
GUEST POST
One question that I get a lot from others who know me or are meeting
me because they have read my book is, “How do you find the time to
write?” I usually respond with, “Five hundred words at a time.”
I currently have a full-time job at a software company in Idaho Falls
called Docutech. I work a regular 8-5 job, and because it’s in the
technology industry, we find ourselves working a lot of late hours
when the software isn’t behaving like it should. On top of this, I
have two children, a beagle, and the cutest salamander you’d ever
see to take care of. Luckily, I have an amazing wife that takes care
of most of that, but I still find that I don’t have a lot of free
time; let alone time to write a book, do all of the editing,
marketing, coordination of art, and all the other things that usually
teams of people take care of. I find that the very best way to go
about writing when trying to balance a normal life on top of that is
to go “500 words at a time”. I make sure that no matter what, I
at least get in 500 words every week night. I try to do more than
that as often as possible, but I make it a goal that no matter what I
am going to do at least 500 words; otherwise, you will lose
motivation and it will just never get done.
