Publisher's Synopsis
The keth permeates everything, and the iliossite controls it. But every form of power comes with a price. Experience the conflict between rebels and a corrupt kingdom. Follow Pavel's journey as he faces his fate in this new, contaminated, Fantasy saga.
Synopsis:Pavel awakens in Eliothar, a kingdom unknown to him, with no recollection of how he arrived. The only certainty is that animals shouldn't talk. Yet Sheriuk, the majestic white tiger who rescued him from death's clutches, converses as naturally as any human. The young man discovers that his memory is lost, and with it his name, his history, everything. At the tiger's urging, he adopts a new name, Vadrah, which means "born here". The region of Eliothar is fragmented. Once governed by just rulers, protected by the Order of Paladins and the powerful Dominant Beasts, it is now the theater of massacres perpetrated by Kandragal, the Crimson Knight. This merciless warrior spreads terror throughout the territory, acting in service to a throne steeped in corruption and wielding a power that creates as readily as it annihilates. The power of iliossite, a mineral capable of manipulating the keth: the vital energy infused in every living being. Through incredible escapes, betrayals, mysteries, and unexpected encounters, Pavel must choose: continue hiding in the shadows... or join the desperate resistance of a rebellious people and become what the world has forgotten. Review by librierecensioni.com: The novel masterfully explores profound themes that go far beyond a simple adventure. The author crafts a nuanced narrative about transformation-not just of landscapes and magic, but of consciousness itself. Vadrah's journey becomes a deep exploration of identity, power, and the thin line between genius and madness. Through the lens of a world where energy can be manipulated and memories rewritten, the story delves into the intoxicating and dangerous nature of power. It asks provocative questions: how do we define ourselves when everything familiar is stripped away? What drives individuals to seek more power, even as it threatens to consume them? Q&A with the Author What makes this a contaminated Fantasy saga?
While firmly rooted in Fantasy, the story interweaves elements of science fiction and even touches of investigative thriller to create something fresh and unexpected. Should readers expect the typical tale of heroes, magic, and destiny?
Not at all. The extraordinary abilities in this world stem from pseudo-scientific principles rather than traditional magical systems. The characters struggle to navigate a shattered realm, haunted by antagonists with complex motivations and an out-of-control power. What are the saga's core themes?
Adventure and personal growth, love and friendship, justice and sacrifice. The story explores deep connections between distant worlds, unraveling mysteries of alternate realities and time travel. It features epic confrontations, survival against overwhelming odds, and defiant stands against corrupt powers that would upset the delicate balance between life and death. Who will enjoy The keth cycle?
Everyone. From newcomers just discovering the wonders of Fantasy to seasoned readers who've journeyed through countless realms. Anyone can identify with the protagonist, his choices, his growth journey. How can I connect with the author or learn more about this world?
