about the author

A dedicated fan of the fantasy genre, the author depicts his own vision of a fictional world. The storytelling that goes to so many places can seem familiar at times but outright strange more often than not because the author chose to write it not necessarily within certain boundaries but with concepts of resourcefulness and authenticity in mind.

about the book

In a fantasy world where the characters have strong individual traits that make them see reality from very different perspectives, the storylines in this book clash violently, depicting events that occur in a realm where ignorance thrives and real togetherness has been forgotten for centuries. The characters’ inability to realize the real root of the problems only puts them in a situation where they have to face forces they do not fully understand, as strength meets magic, light meets darkness and life meets death in a frenetic dance, that might bring about the end of their world. In a game whose rules they aren’t even fully aware of, can they do anything to prevent total destruction?
