Lore - the Legend of River
Cattaran never understood the appeal of the Xivan rituals. In fact, he was sure the priests in the temples were killing members of his village. But after finding a mysterious book in the forest, proclaiming the name of a goddess called River, Cattaran and his family begin to wonder if maybe, just maybe, there is something else in a world of single-minded thought and clandestine mystery.
Thrown into exile, Cattaran travels until his feet can no longer carry him, only to come face to face with River herself. With her commune aiding her in their kingdom known as the Lougette, Cattaran learns the true story of how the world was created, what gods are loyal to their word, and whom are known in the heavens as traitors.
Standing against the very being who created him, Cattaran must battle the dark god, LaXiva, and truly decide what beats in his chest: the heart of a human or of a god…

About the author
Adrianne M. Karpo
1 book3 followersAdrianne M. Karpo (or Schinkai to some) was born on June 8, 1983 after causing her mother to puke on her father (she’s a kicker). Following that, however, it was a pretty decent childhood.
Adrianne embraced a love of writing at the young age of 11, where she would impress her teachers with the creativity of her projects. Soon enough, she was scribbling and doodling on almost every scrap of paper she could get her hands on. This compounded into being a nearly finished novel during her religion classes in high school. But she quickly scrapped it, realizing what she wrote was crap. Years later, she attended Western Michigan University, where she studied under the watchful eye of Steven Feffer (Little Airplanes of the Heart, The Wizards of Quiz). In 2006, she received a Bachelor of Arts for creative writing, with specialization in novel and play writing.
The summer of 2005 brought Adrianne’s first brush with the spotlight. As part of WMU’s New Playwriting Project, her 30 page script entitled Dave Matthews is Going to Hell was presented to an audience of about 50 people. The small, script-in-hand production was directed by Prescott Seymour (Sweeney Todd, The Sutton Lee Seymour Show) and starred Allison Shoemaker (The Ruckus Theatre, Chicago). The production received great laughs and a standing ovation, even including impromptu moments within the performance. Adrianne hopes to turn Dave Matthews is Going to Hell into a full length, two act stage production.
Adrianne has had articles published in the “Western Herald” and “Print It Your Damn Self!,” a creative writing magazine published with the Ream of Writers of DeKalb, Illinois. Her published work includes the novel Lore: the Legend of River. She is currently writing her second novel, Tipitina & Bourbon.
She is an active participant in NaNoWriMo and Script Frenzy, being a winner of the projects multiple times.
Adrianne lives in Metro Detroit with her family, which includes a dog and two cats. She is a public librarian and has an MLIS from Wayne State University. When she’s not writing or reading, she enjoys travelling, board games, and cupcakes.
