I am a refuge from X
Leaving behind Musk and his minions.
(And my 18K followers)
Keeping a clean conscience though...
And secretly planning a revolution.

Just finished reading "Vivian Amberville - The Book of Chaos" by @louiseblackwick.com & I am shooketh!😮

Hands-down THE BEST DARK FANTASY STORY I've experienced (including all films, tv series & games). Nothing comes close to this epicness by a longshot. 💙📚

Reading book 1 not obligatory, but helps.

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)

"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.
