Welp, every now and again, if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing... 👀💙📚 #writing #epic #darkfantasy #cosmichorror #timeloops #pocketrealities #magicsystems

When someone says “Vivian Amberville”, as a book series, they generally think of 5 things:

1. They think of intricate TIME LOOPS that fold time and space into impossible shapes;

2. They think of POCKET REALITIES, such as liminal spaces and cosmic backrooms, where time is both instant and infinite;

3. They think of reality-warping COMPLEX MAGIC SYSTEMS where different characters can fold, twist, bend, loop or even cut the very fabric of REALITY itself;

4. They think of a dense, TAPESTRY-LIKE PLOT supported by a huge cast of characters, each with their own unique character arc;

5. and finally, they think of eldritch creatures from the abyss of reality, which adds certain elements of COSMIC HORROR to the narrative.

Cor, thank you! I'm not familiar with the weapon you mentioned. But my whole Vivian Amberville darkfantasy series is written like a DnD campaign. The protag has a 24-sided die that she rolls & "reality itself" shows her clues hidden within the numbers. I've even been working on designing a DnD set.

Showcasing only the FIRST page & the LAST page of my epic #darkfantasy novel (+ #cosmichorror) "Vivian Amberville - The Book of Chaos" 💙📚 Not sure whether you can deduce anything about the story from it, but oh well.😅 If any fellow #authors feel up to the challenge, show us your 1st & last page!♥️🥰

There is a hard limit to human imagination. This story will take you far beyond that limit, beyond the fabric of reality itself.

In this book you will find characters that can:

manipulate luck, odds and circumstances (the ODDS WEAVER, Vivian Amberville)
remove, store and control physical pain (the PAIN PUSHER, Wolfgaar)
strip both objects and subjects of their shadow (the SHADOW STEALER, Djaar)
reduce the physical world to concepts and abstractions (the CONCEPT BREAKER, Gold)
create shifts in perception and/or gravity (the REALITY SHIFTERS, Yuresne and Circense)
pluck sound out of thin air and store it inside containers (the THUNDER BRINGER, Antuun)
absorb, hold and release darkness (the VOID WEAVER formally known as Allspice)
ABOUT THE SERIES
"Follow the Dark and where it's leading you..."

Vivian Amberville® is a bestselling DARK FANTASY book series about a girl whose imagination can reshape reality.

ABOUT THE BOOK
"Vivian Amberville - The Book of Chaos" is the second instalment in the Vivian Amberville fantasy series by Dutch international author, Louise Blackwick. It centers on Vivian’s attendance at the “Alarian School of Thought”, a place where students learn the noble and dangerous art of “Weaving subtle Threads of influence into the fabric of reality”.

Joined by friends and challenged by foes, Vivian will have to master her ability to manipulate odds and circumstances, in a world now complicated by war, disease and political strife.

"The Book of Chaos" also features people who can rewrite history using a special type of "Ink". It includes individuals who manipulate entire nations by putting words into people's heads and watch those exact words take over. We explore the art of imbibing and imbuing one's intention into an object, and many more mind-over-matter powers.

Standing at over 220K+ words “The Book of Chaos” is a complex narrative tapestry that has taken the author over five and a half years to write.

If you're a fan of epic dark fantasy, with a new adult cast of characters, magical realism set in vast psychedelic worlds, rich Jungian themes and just a touch of Cosmic Horror, you're in for a real treat.
