Volition: Gates of Lodore
A new genre, fantasy epic, based in the American Southwest, thousands of years ago, that centers on the clever and unpredictable Lupoki, a humpbacked young man who is trying to find meaning in life, and his place in it. He is a flute player, as are many of the youth in his village.
This coming-of-age story plays in to the ancient narrative and legends of one Kokopelli, the mythical archetypal humpbacked flute player in ancient Puebloan legends. Lupoki learns the power and magic of the flute, but more importantly, the power of love, loyalty, friends, and truth.
Historically, the Ancestral Puebloan culture was the largest and most prominent prehistoric group in the Southwest. Unfortunately, much of their history and religious beliefs remain unknown. However, author C. Robert Line weaves together an unforgettable tale with actual historical places (Hovenweep, Mesa Verde, Chaco Canyon, Goblin Valley, Mount Timpanogos, and more), along with engaging fictional creatures (Thunder Beasts, The Bidzi-kai Warriors, Zehoo the Witch, Maze Morgus, the Shadow Watchers, and more!)
Immerse yourself in this magical and mythical world, a completely different untapped literary backdrop than the traditional fantasies of Celtic, Nordic, Medieval, or European origins.
