Color of the Islandmaker
Purchase options and add-ons
Mancery, a fledgling nation still recovering from civil war, had witnessed an extraordinary event on the Day of Pearls. Otherworldly portals appeared in the sky, and giant droplets fell, bringing the Alrish invaders into the world. The clergy of Elrazdil were in pursuit, passing through the portals as well. This was eight years ago. Inquisitor Revanna would never forget that day because it was the day she became trapped in a new world. Her faction brought with it a new kind of magic: the healing green magic—a silent promise of a better future.
When Revanna meets Joriel, she soon understands that he harbors a secret of his own, which is deeply connected to portal magic. He fiercely opposes the clergy settling on the land, all the while claiming to know their secret... something that Revanna is determined to discover.
Despite the clergy promising a utopic land, they show no mercy to the opposition. What could anyone do against their ever-expanding, unstoppable force?
Will Revanna and Joriel be able to uncover the truth and take action before it is too late for the continent?

Review
For all the epic fantasy enthusiasts, Color of the Islandmaker will be a great addition to the collection. Joriel is a charismatic and intriguing 'lone wolf' who can use portal magic. Revanna is an Inquisitor loyal to the clergy, who cannot be more different than Joriel. When their paths cross, everything changes.
With deep character development and an ingenious magic system, the author does a great job in creating an immersive world full of adventure. Get ready for detailed descriptions, action-packed fighting scenes, genuine character development, and political intrigue.
If you are a fantasy enthusiast, Color of the Islandmaker is the next book you should read!
— Alice Creswell, indie author
Review:
Color is not just scenery in Color of the Islandmaker—it's politics, faith, hunger, and the price of survival. I didn't expect the opening chase to hook me that hard; Lost ST-Pierre snaps it shut like a trap, then keeps tightening the screws until you can almost smell the moss and the panic.
The story follows Anglica and Raymon—ex-clergy fugitives with too much knowledge and too few safe places—who gamble on a shabby tavern, a stranger guide, and the impossible: yellow portals. I kept leaning in every time they took another "shortcut," because I knew someone would pay for it. What begins as an escape becomes a trek through a humid, hostile world where every myth has teeth and every "good cause" hides a ledger. I loved how the book keeps shifting the ground under your certainty: you're not only tracking the runaways, you're also pulled into the Clergy's machinery through Revanna, an inquisitor who is competent, sharp-edged, and—most interestingly—capable of doubt. By the time legends of the Islandmaker and the "sun" start to rhyme with real tactics, the scope blooms from pursuit into something closer to a cultural reckoning; I stayed up longer than I meant to for the last stretch.
The characters feel purpose-built for collision: Anglica's guarded tenderness, Raymon's bruised sincerity, Joriel's slippery charm (and his awful jungle snacks—I'll admit I laughed and winced), Revanna's disciplined ego, and the chilling banality of higher clergy ambition. The prose is vivid and tactile—mud, sweat, smoke, and magic all have weight. A few taxonomy-heavy magic lessons slowed my pace a touch, but I'm glad they're there; the finale lands harder because of that groundwork.
By the end, this isn't a simple "fight the monsters" fantasy; it's an argument about power—who hoards it, who suffers for it, and what it takes to remake a world without becoming your enemy.

From the Author
It was a blast to write; as soon as I had the main character, I also had an enemy faction. Then I developed the magic system. It ended up fitting together smoothly, more than I expected. The result is a non-standard tale that should be interesting to anyone who is fond of fantasy!

About the author

Louis-Olivier 'Lost' ST-Pierre is the author of four books, including Color of the Islandmaker: A Tale of Magic and Portals and The Cretaceous Human(ts) Extinction: When the Ants Took Over.
Known for a vivid imagination from a young age, ST-Pierre often turned school assignments into fantastical stories—such as vineyards becoming battlegrounds between ghosts and grape elementals. His love of speculative fiction was shaped by authors like Jack Vance, A. E. van Vogt, and Clifford D. Simak, who deeply influenced his approach to storytelling.
Outside of writing, his hobbies reflect a deep curiosity and passion for learning. He enjoys tabletop RPGs, video games, antkeeping, cooking, and studying entomology. His personal motto reflects his thoughtful nature: “People have enough problems in their lives; try not to be one of them.”
