The Ossian Chronicles #0
The Call of Sage and Kindred
Long before the wars of Osland and Vistgard spoken of in The Ossian Chronicles, the Os people were enslaved by the war-like forerunners of the Vist barbarians, and their only escape was to flee into the maw of the all-powerful Nezzian Empire.
This is the story (a prequel to The Ossian Chronicles series) of how the Os came to worship the One God Eom, and how they were led to settle in the land that now bears their name: Osland. It is the tale of the first sage and of the beginning of centuries of religious and civil war.
This is a 25,000 word novella prequel. (Approx. 100 pages)

About the author
Brondt Kamffer
18 books10 followersW. Brondt Kamffer is South African by birth and a US immigrant (along with the rest of his family). He now resides in southern California where he lectures English composition at the California State University of Long Beach.
He became a writer only after he became an avid reader during his senior year of high school, right after he saw The Fellowship of the Ring film. That was his first encounter with fantasy, and he has been hooked ever since. Aside from a period of about two years when he focused on writing historical fiction, he has never wanted to write anything else. Even the poetry he wrote in creative writing classes as an undergrad was heavily influenced by his fantasy reading.

Only 100 pages, but a lot to digest. Not sure I could read a full novel.

Entirely too preachy and focused on gods and spiritual guff to wade through. The story itself wasn’t terrible but I have no desire to be preached at.
