Description

Why must the six-year-old girl die?

Tu, naive and lively, is abandoned to her fate in a cruel and ruthless world. She tries to survive not only starvation but also those who want to see her dead.

Cod, a selfish and arrogant teenager, who aspires to be a knight, keeps taking wrong decisions that will lead him to a spiral of lies and destruction.

Brecks, whose perfect life upends overnight, fights with all her strength and courage to find love again while her shattered soul slips through her fingers.

Olt, a mistreated wizard’s apprentice, discovers the secrets of the forbidden Book. Seduced by its power, he is willing to kill to hold on to it.

Four paths that become one.

An impossible love, the desire for power, betrayals, fantastic creatures and unique landscapes, where good and evil walk on a thin line, join courses on an epic adventure on both sides of the Rachis.

A dark epic fantasy adventure for adults.

Magic disappeared thousands of years ago.

In a world divided in two from North to South by an insurmountable mountain range, whoever controls the only gorge to cross from one side of the continent to another, will rule the world.

In this brutal and merciless world, our four main characters will suffer the worst misfortunes, leading them to the depths of desperation and misery. How they will overcome each of their own fates, is only up to them.

Be ready to feel the oppression and abuse of the strong. Amongst all this darkness and desolation, a spark of light in the heart of a six-year-old orphan girl, who sees hope in life unlike every one else.

Why must the six-year-old girl die?

Tu, naive and lively, is abandoned to her fate in a cruel and ruthless world. She tries to survive not only starvation but also those who want to see her dead.

I liked Simon D. Luscombe's introduction to this world. The use of single words to capture emotions, as well as descriptions when necessary and intentional dialogue choices, made this an active and engaging fantasy read. Well worth the visit for readers of this genre, and a briskly-paced narrative.
