Description
“Good news and bad news, guys.” Bertucio opened his eyes and joined them at the bottom of the slope near the water.
“There’s magic out there near the center of the lake. Some sort of orb or something, I can’t really tell.”
“Okay, what’s the good news?” Miami was not in the mood for riddles or games of any kind.
“That was the good news.” Bertucio picked up on Miami’s mood and softened his voice a bit so as to not irritate him any further.
“So…” Aiko blinked rapidly in confusion. “What is the bad news?”
“Uh, well…” Bertucio scratched his head, trying and failing to formulate a way to say it without worrying them. “That’s not all that’s out there…”
Musashi Greca, leader of the Greca Farm Clan, strives to liberate his island from an oppressive ruling empire that is stripping the island of its resources. Taxes became insurmountable and tension lays heavy in the air. The citizens threaten to revolt and the soldiers stand eager to kill. When the soldiers raid the Greca Farmland, his proteges, Miami and Aiko, must enlist the help of a strange man and even stranger dog. They set out to meet an influential benefactor, only to discover he is also on the run! Left with nowhere to go and no one else to rely on, it is up to these four. Can they liberate the island and expel the Kantohrian empire? Will they find Musashi or any other members of the Greca Farm Clan? Will the island itself be swallowed whole by a savage civil war?
Advance Praise
"Every since reading the first chapter, I enjoyed reading the story of Miami and the journey he takes through the land of Zubare! The friends he meets along the way are unique and support the story move at a decent pace. I can't wait to read more about the land of Zubare!
Characters and a story that amazes. You can tell the author put a lot of time in developing the story, I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves fantasy and people with a undeniable sense of adventure."

The first half of the novel was amazing and i was ready to give it five stars. The beginning scene was a real hook. It is about the straggle of some poor farmers against their oppressors. The character of the Guardian and his dog Strawberry picked my interest. However the second part was a three star. And the end of the novel just left me wonder about the nature of this world.
