Beauty in a Land of Sorrow

Beauty in a Land of Sorrow is the fourth installment in the Deaf Swordsman Series. A novella in length, the overall story focuses on the main characters' attempt at finding beauty in the dreariest of fortunes. Join Vohro, Jeskun, and Wend, along with their new Davinian friends, Sunasar and Ebar, on an adventure-filled journey down a road of beauty, love, jealousy, electrifying surprises, and deep humiliation.

After narrowly escaping Wesper Forest, Jeskun wakes up energized and hopeful only to find himself in the torrential rains of a windy mountain village. Without a moment to gather his thoughts, Jeskun is thrown into a perilous mission involving his teacher and a dubious plot to find a cure for the Blade School of Davi's ailing headmaster.

Not wanting to make their way across the Sunless Land, the Davinian traveling company dives into an undiscovered region of Esterra, casting their lot into a spiritual darkness threatening to extinguish the fleeting hopes nestled deep within their souls. A surprise ambush catches the Davinians off guard, ultimately forcing the traveling party to surrender to their captors and heightening the intensity of the Davinian's chances for survival.

Following a failed rescued attempt, the Davinians are yet again thrown into a menacing world of the insane and psychotic when they are selected to undergo a horrible and outlandish test inside a massive aging castle. There, they must make a stand against a ruthless leader known as the King of Sorrow and bring to light a thousand-year-old secret regarding the Tomb of Voices, a horrid hole in the ground used by the king to punish all who are not marked with his infamous Sign of Insanity.

This installment of the series introduces three new important characters. Elandra (Ela) Elissieh of the Iron Arches, Sunasar the Knower and Ebar the Silent.
