Artifacts of Authority

Artifacts of Authority by Abraham Reymond is a lyrical fantasy poetry collection that explores the many shapes of power-how it is inherited, enforced, fractured, and finally laid down.
Across fifty imagined relics-lanterns, chains, masks, weapons, tools, and forgotten instruments-these poems trace the life of authority: how it commands, how it fails, how it wounds, and how it learns to release its grip. Some artifacts rule through fear. Some through memory. Some through mercy. Others break under the weight of what they were made to do.
This is not a story of heroes and villains, but of power itself-its beauty, its danger, and its limits.
Written in quiet, meditative, myth-like verse, Artifacts of Authority is a book for readers who love reflective fantasy, philosophical poetry, and stories that ask not only who should rule, but when ruling should end.
A collection about strength, restraint, and the courage to set heavy things down.
