An evil omen clouds the sky. A mythic power returns. Can one man’s quest save the world?
As darkness veils the sun and blight ravages a dying world, one man stands between hope and destruction. Voran, a young warrior of Vasyllia, embarks on an epic quest to save his world from an ancient spirit that devours souls.
Armed with the mythic power of a long-forgotten song, Voran must hunt down the dark spirit before it achieves its goal of immortality. Along the way, he must brave doorways into other worlds, confront seductive nymphs, and outwit riddling giants.
Yet the strength of the villainous spirit grows with each step of the journey, and Voran fears the only way to save his world… is to let it be destroyed.

Reviews
“The plot in this novel is excellent. I was delighted by all the many twists and turns. There was nothing predictable in this book. I was continually delighted by new revelations. ” – David Wood
“A few times as I was reading, I had the image of Tolkien peering over my shoulder with his pipe, mumbling, “That’s not allegory.” 🙂 It is a highly symbolic novel, though, with layers of meaning that lend themselves well for multiple readings. Also, let me say how much I enjoy reading protagonists who actually want to be good people, and don’t just mope around with the weight of responsibility like a bunch of overgrown teenagers.” – “Tess”
“Kotar presents a rich and complex set of characters. Kotar’s characters have the complexity of Martin’s, without the jadedness about the possibility or necessity of real virtue.” – “Strannik”
“If you have ever been in a place of exquisite natural beauty and felt your soul ascend like light in a cathedral, you will find even more inspiration in this tale. If you ever desired the courage to grasp the sword-hilt of your heart and wrest it from destruction, you will have a helping hand here.” – Davede Thompson
