Across the vast expanse of a hostile planet an endless war rages. A once besieged empire has turned the tables on their foes, leaving a trail of destruction and death in its wake. In the lakeside town of Parak the citizenry enjoy peace under the watchful eye of the gods and the old ruler who protects them. But peace has a way of making restless those built for warfare. Corruption and decedence has spread through the populace. As the people lose reverence for authority and take the sacred ones for granted they will test the patience of their creators. Should the gods decide to intervene their punishment will be a hell unlike anything the people could prepare for. War is heading for Parak, for when the mortals forget their gods, the gods will remind them why they are mortals.

After centuries of warfare, a world of conquerors has at last defeated their enemies and destroyed their god-like creators. With their society now teetering on collapse and an aging ruler close to death, two young scions from legendary imperial families contend to take control. One has a progressive vision for changing their world by integrating their former enemies. The other has a darker plan that calls for the expulsion and extermination of those who once opposed them. Only one can succeed, and their struggle to destroy each other may be the spark that burns their empire to ashes.

"An action-packed fling into a brilliant new sci-fi realm, Fable's End: A Shentonia Story is a multilayered fantasy thriller that hits close to our ideologically divided home. A legacy of conflict and cosmic oppression is finally coming to an end in Shentonia, leaving a chaotic landscape of violent warlords, deadly feuds, and vast political divides. Despite the deeply detailed world, language, history, and cultures, the battle for the soul of this fictional alien world might feel familiar to readers. A richly crafted novel blurring the lines of multiple genres, this allegorical plunge into socioeconomic, political, and existential conflict makes for a riveting and thought-provoking read." - Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★★
