The Adustum Diaries: A faithful record of the quest of Rhed Viridis

Rhed Viridis is an Ink Artifex. His job? To use his powers of ink to bind people to the afterlife in preparation to die. One of his Ink Masters, whose death he is overseeing, binds him unexpectedly to an impossible quest: find the infamous lost Adustum Diaries. During this quest Rhed battles with two big questions: first, if you couldn't really die without telling the truth first, how would you get around that? Second, if you'd found a way to make a relationship last forever and a secret evil was trying to destroy your power, what would you do?

During a quest for these answers, Rhed learns more about his father's sudden death, discovers new magical powers, and enters an existence between the worlds of light and dark that will change him forever.

About the Author
Tempest, Angela: - Angela Tempest resides in a quiet sleeper town near a beautiful mountain range in Utah. She has a brilliant scientist and inventor for a husband, seven amazing step-children, and one biological daughter-all whom she cherishes above all else the world offers. From first grade on, Angela was a very good reader-always in the top reading group. But she didn't find her love for reading fiction until taking a job at a Scholastic Books call center after graduating high school. Between book-order phone calls from school teachers, Angela read The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and many other classic books for the first time. Within the next few years, Angela was introduced to, and began reading, epic fantasy by Robert Jordan, David Eddings, Anne McCaffrey, and countless others. By joining a scifi/fantasy book club at her favorite bookstore she was exposed to science fiction authors like Isaac Asimov, David Brin, and David Weber. Her love of these genres grew and their fiction worlds were her daily escape from life. Angela's love of reading was soon transformed into a life-changing moment. During the newly released Fellowship of the Ring movie (2001) she was so impacted by "the experience" that she exited the theater determined to have the same impact. She wanted to create moments and experiences that changed lives, like hers had been changed. Since that day, Angela has spent nearly eighteen years writing and honing her experience-creating talent through the medium of writing. She relishes weaving nuggets of truth and quotable quotes into her stories. The Adustum Diaries is her debut, but more books are forthcoming.Monaco, Chiara Noemi: - I'm Chiara Noemi Monaco and I'm an Italian illustrator. I was born in Catania, where I took up my art studies. In 2015 I moved to Milan in order to follow my passion for illustration and to attend the professional illustration course at the "Scuola del Fumetto". I have always loved the illustrated books, looking with dreamy eyes on those beautiful drawings. Growing up, I started playing video games and I just really loved it. As a grew up I was more and more fascinated by the Character Design and Concept artist job. These things, and mainly the love to drawing, led me to become an illustrator.
