Fantasy Novel by Serendipity Sellers

UNION CITY, Ga. - Rezul -- The Storykeeper's Daughter, Book One: The Jester's Grin is an upcoming fantasy novel by Serendipity Sellers, currently in pre-publication. Set in a world shaped by ancient safeguards and forgotten purpose, the story follows what happens when protection fades, not with spectacle, but with silence.

For generations, beacon towers along the northern ridge held back a darkness most people have stopped believing in. It does not arrive with armies or fire. It removes sound, air, and presence, leaving gaps where life used to be. And as the beacons begin to weaken, the change comes slowly enough that many dismiss it… until they can't.

A King, a Relic, and a Cost No One Can Name

The novel centers on Juy'Mond, a High Elf king who inherits more than a throne. Bound to his bloodline is the Key of the Sky, an ancient relic wrapped in conflicting stories and half-erased history. Some claim it was forged to protect the world.

When Waiting Becomes a Decision

Much of the early story unfolds in Rackmoure, a mountain city where tradition governs action and urgency is treated as a threat to order. While the court debates and bargains for consensus, the world beyond its walls continues to shift.

As the beacons falter, Juy'Mond comes to a realization that reframes everything: waiting is not neutrality. It is a choice, and it has a price. Leaving the safety of his court, he sets out for the distant Gates of Banishment, a place referenced only in old records and failing memory. According to those records, it is the only place where the Key of the Sky can be used as it was originally intended.

A Small Crew and an Unforgiving Road

Their journey takes them to the sea, where they need a ship, and someone willing to take a risk on a cause most would call impossible. They find Amryethiel, a captain whose confidence is earned, not performed. Her vessel, the Jester's Grin, looks worn but capable. Amry knows the sea in ways few do. When she accepts their passage, she quickly realizes they're not simply outrunning weather, they're outrunning forces with names, titles, and leverage… and something worse that is still gathering shape.
