The True Faithen's Plight

by K.-A. Russell

A boy with no memories. A man trying to piece together mysteries. Together, they'll struggle to escape an enemy neither of them understand. Yosef can only remember two things besides his name. The first is a pair of creepy, yellow eyes amidst black wisps of darkness. The second is a voice telling him to follow a road. When the road brings him to a city, he soon discovers he has a special sense, one that can hear the voice of silence and feel the presence of entities through soil and rock. But why does he have this sense which no one else seems to have? Ninthalas, a True Faithen from the north, discovers Yosef at an inn while en route to the southern nations. According to refugees from Yosef's hometown, the boy is the only child to escape the clutches of a mysterious enemy known as the Black Assailant who led an attack on their village. Ninthalas is plagued by questions over Yosef’s mixed roots and peculiar circumstances. He vows to bring Yosef north with the hope of providing him a safe place should the boy’s memories resurface. But the Black Assailant has plans to intercept them, take Yosef back and kill Ninthalas.

The adventures of Ninthalas and Yosef are gripping as they try to escape the clutches of the Black Assailant. The world of A'theria is populated by many different cultures and species but all are entangled in wars and dark, foreboding forces. The True Faithen is scared but tries his best as a diplomat to warn other nations of impending danger and massacre. I really enjoyed this book - fascinating to see the creation of a new language and a complex political realm ... Now waiting for the next installment.
