Fate's Fray, Volume 1 of 2

In the land of Karnath, legend tells how the Game of Time and Broken Sword will settle the endless war between good and evil. It's the simplest of games, involving a sword that can slay time, the fate of time itself, and its players: the Children of Light and Darkness. But as simple as that, no oracle in Karnath has foreseen the game's winner for thousands of years. Yet one day, everything changes when the oracles suddenly go blind, their last vision being Shaizan winning the game-Shaizan, the prophesied Child of Darkness! Three years after the prophetic doom with nothing happening since, gloom eerily descends on Karnath, perhaps a sign that end times are finally on the horizon. People far and wide begin hoping for a new hero to rise in the shadow of a fallen hero's grave. X'ieth Armstrong-a young knight of the human kingdom Sergros-has his heart set on exactly that, but it will take more than good will for him to save the world from Darkness. Follow a riveting third-person account of his unforgettable story, where the king's service commissions him to confront Shaizan and end the gloom. Though unbeknownst to X'ieth, his fellow knights, and readers alike, this quest is much more than what it seems! Fate's Fray, a shocking tale told from the perspective of a young knight wanting to be a better man, piles high surprises from unexpected twists and turns. J.A. Tocksworth contributes his first story to fantasy literature, told in a distinctive voice and with pervasive believability, one bound to stir emotive hearts and thoughtful minds. Don't miss out on this unique reading experience, brought to life by illustrations throughout.
