Hand of the Sun
A holy bloodline awaits its scion.
Tesh Verdui lives a simple life, unaware of the sacred bloodline he possesses. In only nineteen short years, he has lost all that he’s loved; a mother and a girl and only knew his father died as a conscript in a foreign war. One eventful night, he is visited by Cadeck Wenfier, a magi, a vicar to the gods Tesh has renounced. Upon their fateful encounter, Cadeck guides Tesh towards a destiny awaited, the descendant of a holy bloodline where men once wielded the powers of gods.
Cadeck Wenfier is on his own journey; for guiding Tesh towards his sacred destiny, he comes closer to rescuing his children held captive by a malevolent Imperium. He believes only Tesh can defeat the evil keeping his children apart from him. Their journey guides them to meet others of Cadeck’s peerage; a young Magi named Kenat Denwich who joins them to further his own path in the ways of magick.
Yet, their world is rife with intrigue as threats arise from the northern realm of Silvetzen whom Cadeck suspects has allied with the Si’rai Imperium. Arriving as envoys for a treaty, the pair join the princess of Sarat, Cassica Bovariàr, who secretly heads a clandestine intelligence operation known as the Order of the Rose. There, they meet with her operative Rensel Fiasti, in an attempt to assassinate the delegation from the Imperium.
While in Silvetzen, Cadeck learns of a horrid betrayal which sent him and his children into the clutches of the Imperium; an Imperium committed to conquest, genocide and enslavement and ruled by a coven of sinister Magisters who see all life as a tool and a means to an end.
Journey with Tesh and Cadeck as they begin the adventure to reveal the Legacy of the Knight.

About the author
Michael D. Hill Jr.
4 books9 followersNative Texan, born and raised in DFW. Currently an IT /network technician for the past 20+ years with industry certifications. An avid fan of sci fi and fantasy, began my journey to be inspired after watching the Star Wars Trilogy as a child in the 80s. Continued my love for fantasy when I discovered the Wizard of Earthsea stories in seventh grade. Raised with Stephen King novels easily accessible and soon explored a love for horror which broadened to Clive Barker, HP Lovecraft and others. In my free time, I hobby build computers (built the one I write from), and enjoy the occasional meetup for Dungeons and Dragons or any other Tabletop RPG. I found inspiration from many authors aside from already described and musical genres from classical to more eclectic, metal tastes.
When not writing, I find myself reading or researching or the occasional video game. Inspiration can be found in anything if you look for it.
