Publisher's summary

The world of Shalistar has reached the climax of its final age. Magic and sorcery, a forbidden art, have taken root in the hearts of its inhabitants. The outcome of this wickedness has come in the form of “The Messenger”, a cruel being who offers power and prestige. Those who accept the gift are granted unnatural abilities, but find themselves a slave to Baelor, the unmerciful master of “The Messengers”.

Born within this world of darkness is a group of warriors, known as the Order of the Elect. They follow the will of Aleph, the creator of Shalistar, who has guided them in battling the forces of evil for thousands of years, keeping the darkness at bay. At the end of the age, at the pinnacle of darkness, a young man and a young woman have been summoned by Aleph to walk through trials unnumbered and meet their creator face-to-face at his mountain summit.

Welcome to a world where an eternal battle has been waged between good and evil. The lines have been drawn, and the people of Shalistar face the crucial choice to follow the will of Aleph or surrender to the control of Baelor. Ancient history and spiritual conflict collide in this fantastical drama, written in the tradition of The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia.

Fantastic Adventure and Great Start to the Trilogy

This was a great story with a believable main character whose struggles feel real and understandable and not contrived. I like how we are brought into this world and given information in pieces, including a wonderful flashback section, and not just through a forced exposition dump all at the very beginning. It did take me a couple chapters to get into it, since I was in a new world with new rules I had to adjust to, but then I was invested in the quest! If you like fantasy novels or quests, you’ll enjoy this.

Spiritual Journey

If your a fan of science fiction and not much else you may not find it your cup of tea. It does have some science fiction basis but really focused on spiritual growth/faith. The story line is good and character development was strong. There were moments that story did feel rushed especially near the end. Due to the character development, I will read book 2 whenever it is published to see what comes of Daeric and Escgar/Esga/Eskar??
