Codex Sohrakia

The Gifted Dark

De: KM Taylor

Narrado por: Joshua Saxon

Saham’a’iel, an Eternal Seraphon of The Realms of Light, is tasked with guarding the barrier that holds chaotic Dark Matter at bay. But, he grows curious about The Dark and betrays his Eternal Mission. The effects of his toying with Dark Matter bring changes to the Mortal Realm and all reality. Determined to find redemption for his transgression, Saham’a’iel sets off on a dangerous mission to destroy all beings touched by The Dark.

While the dangerous powers of Outer Darkness work ceaselessly to break through to the Mortal Realm in order to affect and manipulate humankind, their Lord of Darkness seeks as his conquest the beautiful and tragic Thestra, a Darkling woman fundamentally altered by Saham’a’iel’s Dark Meddling. Thestra is also being hunted by The Acolytes of Saham’a’iel, as all Darkling creatures are threatened by the Fallen Seraphon’s terrible and deadly mission of redemption.

Unique characters, wild dimensions, and curious creatures bring this fascinating story of personal struggle and eternal conflict to life.

Mythical, intimate, imaginative, unlike anything I’ve read before.

This is a book that refuses to follow the rules, and somehow mostly seems to get away with it.
While it has a couple of familiar tropes, it’s mostly throws away what you would expect in a story like this. I never knew what to expect.
The prose is excellent, and the narration is *chefs kiss*.
If you want to experience a bold vision written well, I suggest you give this a try.
