Author Duo Launches Kickstarter Campaign for New Dark Fantasy Series

THE CHIMERA SNARE: FRAGMENTS by S. & E. Black

UNITED STATES, March 18, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Husband and wife duo Shannon Vierra & Edward Ayllon, under the pen name S. & E. Black, have launched a Kickstarter campaign in preparation for the release of their new transformative dark fantasy series, THE CHIMERA SNARE.

A decade-long creative endeavor, THE CHIMERA SNARE: FRAGMENTS promises to transport readers into a realm of compelling magic and emotional impact as two earthbound teenagers work together to thwart a reality-bending menace.

The Kickstarter campaign, which extends to the morning of April 3, will grant backers the opportunity to swipe up limited edition bundles before they become available to the public on the official release date in mid-August. All named backers will also receive a mention in the book’s credits when the campaign is funded.

The campaign features specially curated goods created by a selection of independent artisans, supporting independent businesses and adding an extra layer of exclusivity and charm to the backers’ experience.

“There is an underlying theme of ‘memory’ that we have woven into FRAGMENTS. Particularly how powerful, precious, and fragile one’s memories can be,” the authors said. “We hope that by inviting these items into your home and life, they transport you to the far reaches of the stars and create fond memories of reading THE CHIMERA SNARE.”

THE CHIMERA SNARE: FRAGMENTS follows Rayshell and Trish, your average high schoolers just trying to make it through senior year — until they find out they’re the living vessels of two banished Celestine guardians. With the feud between Celestine and Daeva bleeding out into their world, the two friends are thrust into a realm of profound, otherworldly secrets.

Amidst mystical recollections and a wondrous magic system that shatters the veneer of their everyday lives, Rayshell and Trish embark on a journey to connect with the Celestine guardians’ allies in hopes of freeing them from their imprisonment.

Meanwhile, the shadows cast by Daeva darken. A notorious outlaw, Merisek, has positioned himself to claim dominion over the Order of Existence — a trio of powerful artifacts capable of reshaping reality. Armed with two of these relics, Merisek races against the emergence of the Celestine guardians to claim the third, setting the stage for a showdown that will determine the fate of existence itself.

Rayshell and Trish are all that stand between Merisek and his unhinged desire to twist the fabric of reality into his making. As the threads of destiny unravel, the question looms: who will be the author of existence, and what profound truths will be unveiled in the final, decisive act?
