High Fantasy

Wizards, magic, dragons, a split world, and a four-dimensional narrator – explore E.D.E. Bell’s early writing with the Shkode trilogy.

Book 1: The Banished Craft

Struggling to solve the mystery of her parents’ murder, Cor comes across a mystery much deeper—a secret society who predicted that someday their world would be devastated. That time is now. In a world where women are not allowed to read, live alone, or pursue knowledge Cor presses forward, discovering a new magic and the power to wield it. A world away, Atesh works in the Imperial Labs, devoting his study to the turmoil destroying his home and endangering dragonkind. Instead he discovers a long-hidden truth. Humans are real.

A quirky take on dragons and wizards, The Banished Craft begins the genre-bending Shkode fantasy trilogy about a split world, exploring themes of identity, prejudice, violence, compassion, and the ways we are all connected.

The Fettered Flame is the second installment in the Shkode trilogy: a quirky take on dragons and wizards, exploring themes of identity, prejudice, violence, compassion, and the ways we are all connected.
