The Eternal Storm
By Krishna Prasanth Guttikonda

In the isolated archipelago of Corthalos, where waves crash against jagged cliffs and the skies never clear, an ancient tempest has raged without end. The Eternal Storm—revered by some, feared by most—has shielded the islands from the outside world for millennia. But this storm is no natural phenomenon. It is a magical construct, forged by forgotten gods to imprison something far worse than the storm itself—something old, powerful, and unforgiving.

Aeryn Valdrys was born into a once-revered bloodline of storm-mages, whose sacred duty was to protect the balance between the mortal realm and the arcane fury of the storm. But a tragedy in her youth led to her exile, casting her into the shadows of foreign lands, far from her home and the legacy she sought to escape. Raised by rogue mages and hunted by enemies who fear her blood, Aeryn has learned to survive on her own terms, wielding a storm’s fury with precision—and restraint.

Now, the storm is changing. It grows wilder by the day, consuming villages, corrupting the skies, and warping creatures into things of nightmare. The barrier between worlds is thinning. Something imprisoned within the storm is reaching out, whispering to the desperate and the damned, calling them to shatter the chains of its imprisonment.

Drawn back to Corthalos by prophecy, betrayal, and a desperate hope for redemption, Aeryn is thrust into the eye of an unraveling prophecy. With the help of unlikely allies—a stormborn mercenary haunted by revenge, a dying scholar guarding ancient truths, and a commander of a fading order—she must brave cursed temples, haunted ruins, and the very heart of the storm itself.

But every step forward uncovers more of the past Aeryn tried to forget. Her family’s downfall is tied to the storm’s creation, and its unraveling may demand a sacrifice only she can make. Power, after all, does not come without cost—and some legacies demand blood.

As war brews among the islands, and dark forces seek to unbind the storm’s ancient prison, Aeryn faces an impossible choice: wield the storm’s power and risk becoming what was once caged within it… or let the islands burn and the world drown beneath the fury of an entity older than time.

The Eternal Storm is an epic dark fantasy novel filled with elemental magic, ancient secrets, and harrowing battles for survival. Set in a vividly imagined world where nature itself rebels against man, it’s a story of legacy, sacrifice, and the fine line between salvation and destruction.

For readers who crave immersive world-building, flawed yet powerful heroines, morally complex choices, and a storm that never sleeps—The Eternal Storm delivers a tale as turbulent and unrelenting as the tempest at its core.
