Dariush, born to a medicine man and his loving wife has the looks of a warrior. His birth follows the death of Demish's father whose goal was to groom his son for the overtaking and dictatorial ruling of the inhabitants of their nation. Dariush is encouraged by forces outside himself to take on the lead of the Freedom Fighters as they defend their way of life against the Force of Darkness moving across their beloved land. Can Dariush and his comrades, a mixture of Humans and Beings defend and free their nation from this dark oppressor? The story is outstanding. I found it compelling from beginning to end. We follow the world of Dariush from birth to leadership. I especially enjoyed the contact and interaction with the Beings and the involvement of the Beings throughout the story. - Dr. Barbara with Book-Editing-Services.com
