PRE-ORDER – Black Sun: Gold of the Lost Empire
$22.00
More and more the Flints’ fortunes continue to accumulate while the stories of their most recent triumph circulate across the galaxy. Despite these achievements, however, the brothers are still a long way from matching their legendary mother, let alone claiming her legacy. Which is precisely when a possible new venture enters their midst. Once lost for whole millennia, an almost mythical world of gold has now been rediscovered. It lies well within the Flints’ grasp. They need only reach. Yet as they embark on this new endeavor, Jonathan and Alexander find they are not the only pirates seeking this treasure, as an old enemy reemerges to challenge their claim. Now embroidered in this race for the gold, the Flints must sail into unknown territory, as well as keep the competition at bay through any means available. All the while an unforeseen third entity watches the Flints’ progress with keen interest…

What is the Black Sun
Black Sun is an epic space opera series focused on a band of space pirates who, under the employ of a mysterious yet captivating patron, embark into the galaxy to seek out its greatest mystery, as well as claim a once-lost family legacy. All the while gaining much wealth and treasure along the way. The series is presently at six books, with a minimum of ten and a maximum of thirty books planned altogether.
Each of these books are divided into sets of ten – which the author refers to as “sagas” – with each saga pertaining to the beginning, middle and end of the overall series. Though the overall plot remains constant throughout each book, the characters in question explore a multitude of adventures, whether it be a simple acquisition of treasure or a side conflict that necessitates their involvement. This is made possible by an expansive, deeply immersive setting, an entire galaxy of potential and possibility, to say nothing of the factions and inhabitants therein.
Overall, Black Sun can best be described as a cross between a modern space opera and a swashbuckler adventure, combining both old and new story elements and tropes into a most unique experience – one well apart from any to the present day.
The Books
The development of Black Sun began in 1914 when a young author, Dustin Corallo, partnered up with the owner of Inkwell Books.
Nikos Ligidakis is known in the community for working and helping young, upcoming authors to develop, publish, and distribute their work; among the hundreds of authors he worked with, he recognized something special about this one young author.
The next seven years were devoted to writing and fine-tuning the storyline. Although Dustin kept writing, he is currently in his eighth book and planning to develop 30 books. The team’s focus has taken another direction – to become an anime series. The black sun project is ten years in the making.
The Anime Series
Season One of the Anime Series
Four episodes based on Book I of the Black Sun Series: The Rise of the Flint Pirates
Several more episodes of the same book to follow for Season Two.
Our Vision
For the past ten years we prepared The Black Sun to be a major success.
There is already an inventory of seven books, enough to create several seasons of the Anime Series and thirty books planned altogether. Inkwell books will continue publishing the Black Sun Book Series for at least ten more years, a period which the author Daniel Crux has a contract.
We have assembled a team of talented young individuals dedicated to the success of the project. The Black Sun team is planing to have a long relationship with Cartoon Essence, one of the best anime production companies.
