Publisher's Synopsis
In the magical and richly diverse world of Daedalus, there is a dark and immutable cycle fueled by the everyday evils practiced by the Humans, Elves, Beastfolk, and all other diverse people who inhabit the continents of the mortal world, due to an irreversible curse that will unknowingly and forever be passed on to their descendants, just as they had inherited it from their ancestors. Eventually, when the cycle comes full circle once more, the world will be reminded of the necessary punishment it shall suffer once again, bringing fire, decay, and death across the globe. Only Aurum Rainheart, chosen by the Heavens to journey across the vast regions of the continent to uncover the forgotten secrets and revelations of the world, can pull the people through the darkest period, or at least as much of them as possible. Many heroes join alongside the half-breed nobleman warrior, including his loyal spell-casting step-sister, their jolly, overweight, but strong cousin, two mercenaries of different races who share a deep intimate bond, and a beautiful, ambitious sorceress with dark powers, whom Aurum would marry one day. Inspired by the love of Fantasy & Science Fiction across the decades, both old and new, whether comic books, Japanese anime/manga, or books like Lord of the Rings and Conan the Barbarian, or games like Dungeons & Dragons, Elder Scrolls, Warcraft, Dark Souls, or Final Fantasy, comes the first High Fantasy novel ever to be written by a Bahraini, set in a brand new magical and fantastic world to explore, filled with shining kingdoms, rich in lore, and home to many diverse races, including Humans, Elves, Beastfolk, as well as various creatures, including dragons, demons, and more. This is a story that is filled with magic and explores vast regions, with a series of fantastic battles and detailed choreographic action, as well as a unique ending that tries to make sense of good and evil. fantasy, epic fantasy, high fantasy, action, adventure, sword and sorcery, fantasy romance
