Kassander: Book I Synopsis

Book I title only stretched

Eons ago Seven luminescent Spirits created a land of life, love, and hope. Yet darkness crept in and through that, the Tyrant was released to imprison the Leukon. With the light bound, he unleashed his blood lust across the land of Kassander enslaving the hearts and minds of thousands.

Countless fell to their own wickedness and subsequently a sickness there was no recovery from. Eventually, devoid of all rationale and hope, they deteriorated into corrupted ghastly beasts. Pledging themselves in service to the Tyrant, he built an army so fierce and destructive, it tore the land asunder and filled the waters with the blood of the slain.

All hope of deliverance from his reign of terror passed into the darkness that overshadowed the light. Despite the destruction, hope would birth in one-pure in heart-the will to push back. Amassing all who were left, they fought against the man of carnage and the elders banished him to the forbidden place in hopes that he would remain forever locked away in the obscurity from which he came. The luminescent glow of hope once again radiated across the land.

Yet, now in an age of sword & shield, peace & plenty, Erramuun finds himself bearing up under the inexpressible weight of what has been, what is, and what is seemingly stirring in the shadows. His past a mystery, his present a mix of emotions & self deprecation, and his future enshrouded in uncertainty. Is he really the kings son, could the girl that showed up so long ago, when they were both children, actually love him?

What will become of Heart Guard? If what the Elders say is true, how much longer will the Kingdom carry on in the embrace of hope and light before evil is once again released to tear the Kingdom apart? Erramuun finds himself in the throes of unexpected events forcing him to rise to the occasion or fall to the darkness.

Will he be able to stand against the onslaught of evil seeking to over power the Kassander before death and decay consumes all that he loves, or will betrayal and defeat force him to relinquish the Kingdom to the evil Tyrant forever…
