"If you prefer your reading matter rich and dark, Indigo Eyes will be a sumptuous feast for you.  Fel Kian is a bewitching new voice for literary fantasy." – Storm Constantine

A gothic tapestry of fantasy and horror, Fel Kian’s riveting first novel is a richly decadent tale that pushes the boundaries of identity and eroticism. Eccentric characters and wild landscapes abound in this story made up of three interweaving tales. An uncanny boy searches across worlds for his faerie mother; Severina, a young Russian woman, a lost soul in a lost city, seeks love and meaning; and the terrifying Lylithe, who hunts Angels with the stained sickle of a forgotten God.

Rife with mythological themes, the story begins when Peter’s mother Saraquinn disappears on the eve of his tenth birthday. His world is shattered, until one night when a phantom lures him into the woods and another world. Here the creatures of legends and myth exist, and there is something familiar about it all, something that stirs his dormant faerie blood. Fate, like Lylithe, is seductively sensual and infinitely cruel.   

Across the ocean a young goth, Severina, is looking for a way to escape her wayward, city life.  Clubbing and promiscuity aren’t cutting it anymore, and things are starting to happen -- weird things. Everyone around her is starting to die, and a haphazard entanglement with a water spirit forces her to enter a surreal world of exiled dwarves, Ash Mares, androgynous seers, beguiling faerie creatures, and a very real and very monstrous Ammit. But this savage and exotic world is changing, and Severina has a bigger role to play in the events to come than she could ever imagine…

Paying homage to dark fantasy masters like Tanith Lee, Clive Barker, and H. Rider Haggard, Kian’s literary touch strikes just the right balance between gruesome horror and ethereal fantasy. Not for the faint of heart, his expansive style leads the reader to an astonishing climax. Lyrically written and vividly portrayed, Indigo Eyes is a highly promising debut!
