Event Horizon. The Dark Middle Ages is a novel about a world where humans
can become gods,
where love is stronger than destiny,
and darkness is merely a form of light that has forgotten itself.
Britain is drowning in omens of ruin.
William, a boy who has spent his life avoiding violence, receives a crown that becomes a burden rather than a gift. He was not born for the sword, yet the sword chooses him; he does not seek power, yet power comes to the one who fears it most.
William never wanted to be a hero - and the world makes him the last person anyone can rely on.
When the light of his heart grows too bright, that light becomes a price no one was prepared to pay.
But every light casts a shadow.
Julian - William's elder brother - strong, proud, born for the sword and for glory.
At first, he appears to be the "true hero," before whose brilliance the shepherd boy William pales. But love for the same woman, envy of another's light, and a destiny of salvation turning into a curse give darkness a place in his heart.
Julian is not a caricatured villain but a tragic antagonist: a man whose righteous intentions, sworn vows, and spilled blood slowly turn him into the one who will raise a blade against his own world - and against his brother.
Isabella is a woman of ancient blood, made a vampire not by choice but by fate.
Her life is split between the daylight of her humanity and the nights of immortality, and her heart - between two brothers.
She is not a fatal beauty but someone who fears her own reflection more than the darkness.
Her love for William is quiet, tender, healing; her bond with Julian - passionate, deep, dangerous.
Through her, both brothers are revealed - one in light, the other in shadow - and her love becomes the force that can save, destroy, or even resurrect.
Far in the East, a mute girl named Mihira from Varanasi forges a pact impossible by the laws of the world: not a bargain of power, but a friendship with Tiamat the djinn.
She does not command him - she hears him. He does not serve her - he learns from her.
Their magic does not tear the fabric of the world but mends it: a light sealing fractures, a breath returning warmth to cities, a memory that makes a human human.
Their journey is not about power but about how a fragile girl and an ancient spirit become those who know how to preserve when the rest of the world learns only to destroy.
Through them, another side of legend is revealed: where strength needs no blood, and where even among gods and monsters one can remain oneself.
Meanwhile, many peoples - dwarrow, nagas, dryads and sidhe, demiurges, shapeshifters, and dragonborn - make voluntary sacrifices so the world does not tear beneath the steps of darkness. Each gives what they can: the strength of blood, the breath of the forest, the fire of the forge, ancient songs.
But in the rifts between worlds, the dark elves awaken - those who need no war for glory and no evil for pleasure. They are not monsters, but a people pushed to the edge of existence, seeking a way to survive as their world dies.
Their alchemy can cut through the boundaries of worlds, and their artifacts raise mortals to the level of gods. But each time new power is born, part of the world dies - a forest, a city, a river, an age.
Thus their path is not villainy but the desperate choice of those who realized too late that saving one world means the death of another.
This is dark medieval fantasy, scented with forge-smoke, road-dust bread, the blood of oaths, and dawn's dew.
It is a mythic novel where magic has a price and swords have names.
And it is a love drama where the choice between light and shadow can overturn the heavens.
When the world nears its event horizon, no one can return unchanged -
not humans, not gods, not those only beginning to learn who they are.

Descripción de la tienda
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
