EITHANJEWEL
A journey of self-discovery and existential truths
"In the beginning there is energy. I am somewhere between darkness and colour. I move my hand about my face, following it with my eyes. My creator is dancing. He contorts between planets and stars. There is a circle of beings like me but I only see her; the one who shares my soul."
Eithanjewel is a celestial being who wakes up at the moment of creation.

He relentlessly follows around his creator nagging him with questions until God offers him an opportunity to go to Earth and search for his own answers.
Eithanjewel is a story of self-discovery, love, invention and magic. It is a collection of universal truths hidden within fiction. It is a great companion for those who seek out old magicks.
REVIEWS AND ACCOLADES
LITERARY TITAN REVIEW
"In Eithanjewel, author Kimlyn Stanyon crafts a captivating tale that seamlessly blends fantasy, philosophy, and the quest for self-discovery. Set in a celestial realm where energy, creation, and existence converge under the guidance of a mysterious creator, known as the Perfect One, the narrative invites readers into a world of profound wonder. Central to this cosmic story is Eithanjewel, a celestial being who awakens at the dawn of creation. Unlike his contented siblings, Eithanjewel is driven by an insatiable curiosity and a profound desire to understand the meaning of his existence and the universe. His relentless quest for answers propels him to challenge the Perfect One, who ultimately grants him a singular opportunity: a journey to Earth to seek his own truths. Accompanied by his devoted soulmate, Niaomi, Eithanjewel embarks on this uncharted adventure, with both eager to uncover the answers they seek. Yet, even the Perfect One cannot predict the long and winding path they will traverse on Earth to fulfill their destiny.
Stanyon's Eithanjewel transcends the boundaries of a typical fantasy novel. It is a deep exploration of universal truths and the human condition, cleverly woven into a fictional framework. The narrative is rich with philosophical and existential themes, posing profound questions about purpose, existence, and the nature of reality. "We all have free will so the outcomes presented by the cards are only potentials. It is still your decisions that create your reality." Stanyon's prose is both lyrical and evocative, painting vivid images of cosmic landscapes and the protagonist's internal struggles. As Eithanjewel and Niaomi navigate their journey on Earth, the book delves into the complexities of love, identity, and the pursuit of knowledge. While drawing some parallels with biblical creation and annunciation stories, Eithanjewel stands out with its unique narrative and distinct perspective. It is a thought-provoking and enchanting novel that will appeal to readers who enjoy speculative fiction with a philosophical twist.
Kimlyn Stanyon has crafted a story that not only entertains but also invites readers to ponder the mysteries of life and the universe. Whether you're a fan of philosophical musings or simply appreciate beautifully written, imaginative fiction, Eithanjewel is a book worth exploring."

TO RID THE
WORLD OF
MAGIC
A romantasy novel unlike any other
Surrounded on all sides by hostile nations and hunted by an extremist group known as the Aryans, Tova knows her time to fight is inevitable. Conscription is a way of life for her people, but when her extraordinary abilities are discovered, she’s sent into the elite ranks of the special forces. There, Tova and her comrades face danger, deception, and brutal missions, carving their way through battlefields to find an answer that will end their suffering.
Magic, once a birthright, has become a myth—whispered about in sacred texts and lost to time. But change is coming. When unlikely alliances form and long-buried truths begin to surface, the balance of power shifts. In a world where history is written in blood and destiny is anything but certain, those who dare to dream of peace must first survive the battle for it. The war is not over. It is only just beginning.
ARC REVIEWS
This is a wonderful story exhibiting a fantastic link between faith and magic that I would never have thought of before! Tova is a wonderful, strong and intelligent example of a female main character and her need to make her own decisions is a breath of fresh air to read. The relationships between the characters grow wonderfully from a team to a family, and the unification of factions is something we wish harder for as the novel progresses. As an ARC copy, this was a joy to read and leaves me wanting more, I can only imagine it’ll continue to surpass expectations as a polished copy.
Thank you for letting me read! I would absolutely recommend to others.
I devoured this within a few days, and couldn’t stop thinking about it when I did have to put it down. I look forward to seeing what the author does next!
- Libby on Goodreads
This story! The premise and the depth of this world and the way its magic works based on faith have me wanting a whole book dedicated to its back story to get more information on the war. There is plenty of info in this book - it’s not too rushed - I just want more 😅. Tova is a badass and I love her ability to stand by her morals and choices and still have the internal conflict of wondering if she’s making the right choices.
Strong independent FMC ✔️
Understanding and practically perfect but still has relatable flaws and will probably end up burning the world for love MMC ✔️
Lovable banter between all characters ✔️
I cannot wait for book two!!!

LITERARY TITAN REVIEW
Kimlyn Stanyon’s To Rid the World of Magic is an intense, high-stakes fantasy novel that plunges the reader into a world ravaged by war, faith, and the struggle for survival. Set in the land of Ahava, where seven magical races once lived in harmony under the presence of God, the story follows Tova Becker, a warrior caught in the relentless grip of conflict. As belief in the divine fades, so does magic, and a brutal war threatens to consume what remains of her people. Between secret powers, shifting alliances, and deeply ingrained prejudices, Tova must navigate the battlefield both physically and emotionally while discovering who she truly is.
Right from the prologue, this book had its hooks in me. Stanyon’s writing is vivid, almost cinematic, especially when describing the world’s decline into chaos. The opening scene, with the deceiver screaming that “God’s dead” as he’s bound by invisible hands, is pure chill-inducing storytelling. The way the author interweaves history, mythology, and religious themes gives the book a heavy, lived-in feel.
