The Shadow Soul
The Trailokya Trilogy #1
By- K. Williams
Genre- Epic Fantasy
The Shadow Soul is the first part of The Trailokya Trilogy, a fantasy series that follows the rise and fall of fabled races and souls at the junction of three worlds: Zion, Earth and Jahannam. K. Williams weaves a tale that will leave you questioning long held convictions about the human legends of Heaven and Hell. Are you ready to enter the gates of Zion and learn the truth?
Captain Maiel is a duta warrior of Zion, a race of giant, winged guardians and chroniclers of the lesser souls. Maiel’s assurances are shaken when she nearly loses a young human girl to the dark forces of Jahannam, the prison realm where the lowest beings reside. To avoid answering to the leaders of her world, Maiel seeks refuge on Earth, but she is pursued by a baron of Jahannam intent on destroying her. Can she be saved before time runs out? Or will she be sacrificed to secure the borders of Zion and to hide the lie her journey uncovers?
With each step further into darkness, long held secrets are revealed and shadows rise from the past to challenge absolutes.

Character Bios
Argus
Argus is the companion and sub commander of the wolf pack
under C. Maiel’s command in the Moon Order. An artic wolf, Argus was trained by
Gediel and is the seventh pup of the seventh litter for Chiron and Imnek, the
pride of the Watcher’s packs. Loyal unto death to his captain, Argus took a
mate some centuries back, and has not shirked his duties, though his heart is
split between these two ladies.
Shee
Shee is the wild born mate of Argus. A doting heart, she
takes to the pack with ease and adores the Captain as sister, never jealous of
how Maiel takes her mate away on long excursions, for she is a formidable
fighter too. Trained by the pack and Maiel, she is now a member of the sub unit
and goes on missions. Her black coat is a contrast to her mate’s.
The Baron Morgentus
In the ages long past, there was a war in Zion and some of
the multitude were cast out. The king sentenced them to eternity in the prison
world of Jahannam, below the surface of the volatile planet, until they mended
their ways. Morgentus and his leaders seek a way back. Jet black hair and a
cadaverous complexion mark him as different from his brethern in Zion. When
they fell, they became corrupted and their resonances marked them out a new
species: Danava. Morgentus plots from his lowly seat of power, his eye on
thrones and concubines. A deep resentment drives him.
Prince Belial
The infernal prince of Jahannam looks more like a
statue--pale skin like marble and flaxen hair. His gold eyes rimmed in red
speak of the horrors that put him there. He is patient, for he has learned that
the duta are as strong and driven as he. For a time, he will enjoy the spoils
of his wars: dolls (fallen aghartian people) and his ill begotten children.
King Adonai
King Adonai
the king of Zion is a guardian sent from the higher realm of
Nirvana. He watches over the souls who reside there, ever encouraging them to
rise up and come home again. As being, he is formless, having attained a higher
state of being, but when he appears to those who require his counsel, it is in
comforting designs. He may appear a noble ruler, with long white hair and a
beard, decked in white robes; or he may appear like a muse--a body of
awe-striking light.
