Faraway in the land of Woras, there is a little prince Korl, but Korl bears the burden of a terrible secret. He blames himself for the loss of the Chest of Doom, which brought shame to his family and shattered his confidence. As the new Akhut King Hornol decides to find and open the Chest of Doom, the Council of Four begins preparing to stop Hornol. What entails is a quest to find the Chest before the dark forces can get their hands on it. As Korl sets out with his brother and a magical friend to find the lost legend, he will be forced to confront his fears and fight with the dreaded army of Akhutzai.

'Legend of The Broken Blade' is an epic fantasy depicting the exhilarating story of Korl and the land of Woras consisting different kingdoms. When I started reading this book I had little expectations from this book, but the book proved me wrong by delivering a strong story that I didn't know I was searching for. This book was so engrossing that I was hooked to it from cover to cover. With fantasy books comes the responsibility of creation of an immersive world that will give people an ever encompassing feeling. The world building is great. The plots are arranged in a streamlined way with methodical precision. With each added element this book got closer to one of my favourites of this year. Really enjoyed the narrative. I enjoyed the characters too, Korl is definitely my favorite but I loved Niall and Borlem. To be honest the names were difficult to remember at first.

Writing style is praiseworthy, lucid yet intricate with emotions and flow. Plot, character and writing all are spot on. I would recommend this book to fantasy readers especially epic fantasy lovers.

Legend of Broken Blade
Author- Aaditya Sengupta Dhar
My Rating-⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My Review-
My favourite line from the book:
He couldn't stop thinking about how beneath the "glory" of war was suffering and death, about how the battle had been won but it was yet futile, fruitless victory with thousands dead and the Rosijiman natural beauty maimed, only to satisfy the greed of Akhut ruler….

Fantasy books are really something that takes the readers into a world of aesthetic imagination which makes our mind feel the world that the author had created as we are witnessing the story. This book is definitely a work of art and I really appreciate the author's imagination power to write this masterpiece.

Blurb of this book can reveal the plot of the story, so not mentioning that, I can say that each and every character was built so perfectly along with a good storyline. I'm very much delighted with the strong character of the main protagonist of this book Korl and his journey against all the odds and turning himself into a legend that history remembers.

The narrative style of the author was quite impressive, that's what made me read this book with great enthusiasm to know what happens next. Every scene and battle was amazingly narrated as we can see the battle with our own eyes. The vocabulary used in this book is not very tough, so beginners who want to try this genre can pick this one.

This book is really one of my favourite reads because of its narrating style which is in depth( some may not like that, that isn't my issue) but it has taken me into a world which is full of adventures, mystery, emotions and plot twists.

And finally the ending of this book will show the meaning of the title which is really incredible. This book is written in a way that no one gets confused due to more than one group as their description was already mentioned before along with a beautiful map.

I highly recommend this book to all my reader friends to give this book a try and enjoy the journey of an adventurous fantasy world full of suspense, twists and thrills. Happy Reading 😊❤️…

When you think of epic fantasy novels, you think of unchartered worlds, warring kingdoms, unique races, a heroic prince and one epic quest. And Legend Of The Broken Blade delivers exactly that in a spectacular fashion. Legend of the Broken Blade is one epic fantasy that will transport you to a magical world full of adventure, magic and heroism.

Legend of the Broken Blade is the story of Korl, the prince of Ofnast. Korl blames himself for the loss of the Chest of Doom, which has brought shame to his family and shattered his confidence. A Chest of Doom, when opened, could bring untold destruction and hence it’s important to retrieve it. Hornol, the new tyrant of the rival kingdom of Akhutzai, has vowed to find and open the Chest to gain unparalleled power and enslave the nations of the Council of Four. Korl sets out with his brother on a dangerous quest to find the Chest of Doom before the dark armies of Akhutzai can find it. Both Ofnast and Akhuts are in a race against time to find it.

The story revolves around the quest of retrieving an artifact and there is a lot of adventure, mystery, and plot twists along the way. The quest transforms a teenage prince from a boy to a warrior while facing deadly enemies and overcoming unsurmountable odds is an epic read.

The characters are well written especially Korl and Hornol. The map given in the book is vivid and helps you visualise the world. A special mention for all the battle scenes in the book which were especially well written; reminding you of the epic battle scenes of LOTR. The action is intense and varied which will keep you hooked.

Overall, Legend of the Broken Blade is one epic tale full of adventure, action, and magic. If you are a fantasy fan, you will enjoy this book.

Korl, a young prince, remained silent and watched his enemy, Akhuts, steal the Chest of Doom, leaving him with years of remorse, fear, and disgrace for his family. The Chest of Doom is a mystical box that can corrupt whoever opens it and destroy the entire world. A journey to find the Chest of Doom, decided by the Council of Four before the Akhuts, offers Korl the opportunity to reclaim what he lost during that unfaithful night. Korl joins his elder brother and a magical Frostania on their adventure to battle the terrible powers of Akhuts. Korl had to defy time and fate to bring peace to each kingdom.

Legend of Broken Blade has an intriguing fantasy world with many distinct races, each with its own deep, great, and powerful history. Its plot revolves around a quest to discover a magical artifact and has a lot of adventure, mystery, and spectacular twists and turns. Korl is a young prince who miraculously grows from a boy to a legendary warrior while confronted with a deadly foe and his own insecurities and fears. The entire adventure is exhilarating and culminates in dreamlike heroism.

The author did an excellent job of world-building, with many diverse personalities, each with their own flavors and languages. Korl is a relatable character who is not ashamed to flaunt his imperfections. With each passing page, Korl reminded me of a teenage boy with tears, love, fear, courage, and overwhelming emotion. The start of this story is fascinating and intriguing, but then several events repeat themselves, with the predictable end yet catching readers with the incredible bravery of the warriors. It is a fast-paced novel written in an easy-to-read style for readers of all ages, with vivid descriptions.

Drama, emotion, loss, sadness, and action abound in this magical epic fantasy.

The council of four was supposed to keep the chest of doom safely. Protecting it from evil Akhuts. Akhuts were determined to perish every other race that existed on woras. Many powers were locked up in the chest of doom. The one, who opens it would get all the power. Thus could bring a disastrous end to Woras.
As the blurb says that Korl blames himself for the list of the chest of doom because he was present at the scen when Akhuts had steal it. The poor ten-year-old didn't cry for help neither did he try to stop them. Seeing the dark figures of Akhuts and that incident left him shaken.this had a depressive impact on his confidence.
Somehow, after 5 years he gathers courage to go along with his elder brother, Borelem and Niall on the quest to find the lost chest. He wanted to redeem for the shame he brought to his father and his family.
Little did he know just after they set on the quest an unfaithful incident happens which shatters his confidence again.
In the prologue itself we get to know that Korl is the legend of the broken blade. Yet it's an interesting journey to know how this less confident Zirsuthur (this word means STUTTERER in Ofnastian language) battle his way up to being a lengend.
There is no surprise that children are often imaginative. The way Aditya, author of this book has delicately used his literary freedom to transform his imagination into the words and a whole amazing world is impressive. Though it's a fantasy genre novel but the languages of different races, those spells strengthen its existence
The plot is adventurous. The author has build up an entirely different yet intriguing fantasy world. I personally loved Niall. She resembles more like a Jin but not completely. The cover, the map of Woras at the beginning and a list of Magros words at the kastmakes it more appealing.

It is an adventurous read for children from 10 or 11 and also for adults who love to lose themselves into fantasy worlds.
Happy reading!

Visionary, fantasy literature that truly sweeps readers into a realm of artistic imaginations, causing our emotions to perceive the setting that the author crafted while we follow the tale. This novel, is unquestionably an element of artwork, and I admire the writer's brilliance in focusing on creating such a gem. The storyline encourages individuals for using fortitude in all of their endeavours.The idea of making difficult decisions that can potentially have significant consequences adds to the book's suspense and keeps the reader engaged.When accompanied with a combo of chauvinistic male with both at workplace and home ,life becomes a real hardshipIn this story, Korl, the prince of Ofnast, is embarrassed by the loss of the Chest of Doom. This has shattered his confidence and embarrassed his family. He wants to rectify the past. As the chest of Doom contains untold destruction, it is crucial to retrieve it as soon as possible. Hornol has vowed to gain unprecedented power and to enslave the nations of the Council of Four by finding and opening the chest.

As Ofnast and Akhuts race against time to find the Chest of Doom, Korl sets out on a dangerous quest with his brother to brother. This is before the dark armies of Akhutzai can find it. A quest that will reveal the true strength and wisdom . Too many twists and turns will make you intact in the story till the end. The description of the book is highly engaging,and making you read the book in one go,although that wasn't possible.When i started reading this book i throughly enjoyed alot because it looks similar to harry potter whom i love them alot. And some quotes and ending lines are written very well by the author with good vocabulary.

And in this book author mentioned many different levels like ups and downs. I wish every one will like this once they start reading that much the book is in interested way with good story, And this book is all about the GREAT FANTACY by young author.

Book : Legend Of The Broken Blade
Author : Aaditya Sengupta Dhar

There's something about Aaditya Sengupta Dhar’s novel - you just can't keep calm unless you finish it. Is it because of beautiful writing style, or proper handling of emotions, or detailed characters or something else, I don't know. But it is intriguing for sure.

This story was almost like watching a movie. Every scene was running inside my mind. The author's writing skill was the obvious reason behind this.

This story revolves around Korl, a young prince of Ofnast, who thinks and blames himself for the loss of Chest of Doom. He with his brother join hands together to start a journey in search of the chest of Doom. During the course, Korl learns many things. Will they succeed and make their kingdom and family proud? Is there anyone to help them? will they survive? is the remaining story for you to catch up on.

While reading certain scenes in the story I actually felt like it was happening in reality! That is how the book deeply engages the readers. The author has a good storytelling style. There were many different characters like Rak, Hornol, and Niall etc. also many unique places and settings used by the author which give it a grand look. However, it's the ending that was the most satisfying.

Such an intriguing and unique storyline. A story full of emotional ups and down. Smooth transition between scenes. The plot and the plot twist were shocking and I liked it a lot. This book got me hooked right from start and you just can't stop reading it unless you have finished it.

⭐ Rating : 4/5 🌟⭐

🏴‍☠️Let me begin this review by saying that this book - Legend Of The Broken Blade, is by far one of the most amazing fantasy books I’ve read till date.
Yes! It’s that impressive.

🏴‍☠️Why I say so is because, the author of this book, who by age is just 14 years old (which is genuinely difficult to fathom considering his storytelling skills) has written this book in an exemplary manner bringing out an incredible fantasy world that is boiled down to intricate detailing coupled with a wonderful narrative.

🏴‍☠️The story begins with a young boy named Korl who is the son of the king of Ofnast. Korl is shown as a timid boy who witnesses the ‘Chest of Doom’ being stolen by their enemy - ‘The Akhuts’.
The incident carves a deep impression into his mind as he just stood there and watched the ‘Chest of Doom’ getting stolen. As the legend goes, this Chest when opened would grant invincible powers to the one who opens it.
However, the Chest isn’t with the Akhuts as well, as it was lost midway when the ones who stole it were on their way to deliver the Chest to the King of Akhutzai.

🏴‍☠️Now begins the search for the Chest by the Akhuts and the Council of Four alike and in the competition of who is to find the Chest first, begins a war between the good and the evil; a war in which Korl finds himself and sheds his fears!

🏴‍☠️The war is filled with a vivid display of magic and action and it would make you feel as though you’re reading the detailed script of a Marvel movie.

🏴‍☠️The story is really well thought of and executed and I can guarantee it will make your imagination run wild!
Definitely a must-read for all the fantasy lovers!

The author has penned a mysterious story of epic genre and anyone who has liked reading works like Lord of the rings, Game of thrones are surely going to love this book by Aaditya. The story revolves around the powerful chest of doom which got lost and was meant to be protected by the council of the four races. It has so great powers that if it gets in wrong hands then it can annihilate all the races. It was stolen right in front of Korl, the prince of Ofnast who is now bearing the burden of this terrible secret. As this incident was happened when he was very young however he still regrets that he could have done something at that point of time. However as five years have passed the chest is still lost out there somewhere and now korl has made up his mind to find the chest of doom and bring it back anyhow. He sets out with his brother on this impossible mission to bring the lost treasure and only hope for mankind back. This also seems out to be a very big opportunity for Hornol the leader of the Akhutzai, who are the dark armies. If they get the chest before Korl then the dark armies will eliminate all the other races as they will unparalleled power and dominance. The book is a gem of a book as there are a lot of interesting things in it not like the other stories where only the main character is important. The Written style of the author is amazing. Also I would like to contribute few words about the cover as it is so elegant and giving that fantasy vibes. I would recommend you to read this book on weekends not on weekdays because you will leave your office work and keep reading it because it is so interesting .

The most attractive part of the book is the cover page. A striking royal blue which justifies the title and the story.

I was really astonished when I read about the author and his details. A very young writer stands as an inspiration for every aspiring writer.

The story begins with a thrilling incident where the chest of the doom gets lost. There are five nations listed where one is called Akhuts, the most malicious race and the reason for the chest of the doom disappearance. The protagonist and the hero of our story is Korl, the younger son of the great king Eroz. The day when he witnessed he was ten years old and felt helpless, he was even stuck with an incurable disability. That one incident brought shame to his father for not protecting properly and that guilt haunted him even after five years. Like all other houses, due to a high demand for comparison, Korl was mocked by everyone because of his disability and his brother was praised.

The hero korl, fighting on behalf of his land, finding the chest of doom, exploring the politics of a kingdom at a very small age, finding himself and the mighty transformation of a small boy into a legend. Action packed, super powers, rare races , kings and kingdoms, pain, bloodshed, loss, power and most importantly survival are the starring elements of the book.

This story was almost similar to all other stories about kings and kingdoms. What makes this book unique is the description of characters, giving new terms and names gives a fresh reading of the book. The narrative part was at its best. All the chapters were aligned and a clear plot gives a higher credential.

Don't miss this power-packed story!

It's a story of a 12 years old boy who embarked on a journey to rescue a stolen chest and reclaim his lost self-confidence. But this journey needs sacrifice, on this journey, he lost his brother, and what more sacrifices he needs to do? The path to the lost chest is not an easy thing.

Korl, the prince of Ofnast, bears the burden of a terrible secret. He blames himself for the loss of the Chest of Doom, which brought shame to his family and shattered his confidence. Hornol, the new tyrant of the Akhuts, has vowed to find and open the Chest to gain unparalleled power and enslave the nations of the Council of Four. Korl sets out with his brother on a dangerous quest to find the Chest of Doom before the dark armies of Akhutzai. A quest that will force him to confront his fears face deadly adversaries, find allies in unexpected places, and learn to harness the power of the ancient Frosnastia. A quest that will reveal that sometimes the greatest heroes are the most imperfect ones. A quest that will mark the beginning of a legend that will echo through the ages. The Legend of the Broken Blade.

Every chapter is brilliantly packed with action and closed with a new clue for the plot which makes readers glued to the book.

Despite being a very young author Aditya shows tremendous potential in his writing
and impeccably created this imaginative world with his lucid narratives. I am astounded.

Characters are well-explained and beautifully rooted in the storyline. With their dilemma, fear, and bravery, every character touched the reader's heart.


Very well done. Hope to see more from this young promising author.

I recently had the pleasure of reading "Legend Of The Broken Blade" by Aaditya Sengupta Dhar, and I must say, it was an incredible journey that took me through a realm of imagination and adventure. The story not only delivers an ample dose of fantastical battles, quests, and guides, but it also delves into the complexities and struggles that come with the thirst for power.

Dhar's writing style is full of mystery and intrigue, offering an epic tale that will satisfy anyone who enjoys works such as "The Lord of the Rings" or "A Game of Thrones." The crux of the story revolves around the lost chest of destruction, which was meant to be protected by the Council of the Four Races. The chest possesses extraordinary abilities that, if it falls into the wrong hands, could potentially destroy all races. Korl, the sovereign of Ofnast, bears the weight of this terrible secret after the chest was stolen from right under his nose.

What stood out to me about this book was how engagingly the plot was crafted. The use of woras at the beginning and the list of Magros words at the end added a unique twist to the story, making it all the more immersive. The cover of the book is stunning, and the guide provided helps to navigate through the creation of the author's own fantasy world. The characters are well-written, and their development throughout the story is something to look forward to.

I highly recommend "Legend Of The Broken Blade" to anyone who loves an exciting adventure that explores the intricacies of power and the human desire for it. Dhar's storytelling and world-building abilities are truly impressive and will keep you engaged from beginning to end.

Book no.5 of 2023

Legend of the Broken Blade by Aaditya Sengupta Dhar is a high fantasy book set in the world of Woras. The Woras has many different kinds of inhabitants some which are humanoid, some which aren't, like Ofs, Gams, Akhuts, Daris, etc.

Legend of the Broken Blade tells the tale of Korl, who is the prince of Ofnast. In the prologue, we get to see the legendary Chest of Doom getting stolen by some Akhuts right in front of his eyes, while he wasn't able to react, he blames himself for the loss of the Chest and also for the shame the Royal family had to face after that incident. Cut to the present, he's been training to find the Chest, and he sets out on an adventurous quest for the Chest of Doom along with his brother.

This was such a thrilling read! And the fantasy was quite refreshing as well. At times I had some difficulty to remember the names, but I've always had that when it comes to high fantasy, that means I need to read more of those, which I'm hoping to this year🤞

There's a cool map of the world of Woras, in the book as well, which I loved. And the cover is so majestic😍 that's what drew me in to check this book out, and I'm glad that I did. Also it's written by a fourteen year old author, which is super cool! The language isn't very hard like some high fantasy books I've read, beginners can also read this book and enjoy it easily. Definitely recommend reading!

Korl, the king of Ofnast, as bearing the burden of a terrible mystery. He blames himself for the Chest of Doom, which brought shame to his family and destroyed his confidence.

The author of the novel describes
▪︎A quest that will need him to overcome his feelings of apprehension, encounter frightening foes, find partners in unexpected places, and learn how to restrain the power of the old Frosnastia.
▪︎A tour that will reveal that sometimes the worst legends are the best.
▪︎A mission that will serve as the foundation for a mythology that will endure forever.

There are different groups of people from OFnast, GAMS, FROSNASTIA, AKHUTS, DARI, and GARNS. Every group of people has its own characteristics and traditions.

Now there is a new king, Akhut Hornol, who promised his subjects that he would find the chest of doom during his reign.

Our younger prince Korl joins Brohlem and Niall (a magician from Frosnastia, who has lived for more than 600 years).

The journey exposes him to new experiences and teaches him a lot. He is a 15-year-old boy who learns about the world's other side and encounters many setbacks along the way, regardless of whether he succeeds in his goal, makes his parents and kingdom proud.

The language has been meticulously cleansed and changed to reflect an open to understanding experience. The writing style is excellent. The book's cover is also quite fascinating.

Hello readers, Today I have a book that is written by just 14 year old AADITYA SENGUPTA DHAR. The plot of the novel centres around Korl, The Prince of Ofnast, who leads us on a quest to find "The Chest of Doom." The magical and amazing book is a feast for the spirit that immerses you in the world of adventures.

A feast is placed before our eyes as a result of the young prince's emotions, the weight of their parents' burden, his shame, his challenges, and his bravery in the new journey. The author's creation of the territory of the Kings and their languages on the map at the opening of the book astounded me.

The author's imagination is best characterised by this. I knew this was going to be a terrific journey when the author highlighted the monarchs and their dynasties and gave us an introduction to them early on.

The narrative draws you into the characters' world and forces you to sit still. As you turn the pages, it becomes increasingly engaging. Each chapter has been expertly crafted by the author. I loved the way the author has presented everything and I can’t believe that it’s written by a 14 year old.

I admire the 14-year-old author for this fantastic book, and he should serve as an inspiration to everyone. And if you're looking for historical fiction, your quest is over right here. This book is highly recommend for everyone and a must read.

Happy reading:)

4.5/5⭐

Chest of Doom - For some people, it's a sign of power and should be won, for some it's malice and should be feared, and for some, it's something that should be protected. Korl, a ten-year-old prince helplessly watched the Akhuts steal it. Five years later, the prince who has grown strong is on a quest to reclaim what he couldn't protect. With the help of allies, he's on the quest to retrieve the Chest of Doom. This is not only a quest for the chest but is also a journey of self-discovery.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I loved the narrative style. The story progresses lucidly and has nothing to not like.
A very entertaining story with powerful characters. I loved Borlem. He is my favourite character in the whole book. He is a great brother as well as a powerful leader. Being a prince always brings you trouble. He loved and cared for his brother. He is someone we could all look up to.

Korl as the protagonist always stood out from the rest. He had perseverance and he genuinely cared for everyone around him. Such a wonderful character👏

I loved their parents too. They played a very important part in not letting Korl lose his confidence.

The construction of a fantasy world is not at all easy. But the writer has written in such a way that the world unfolded before me as soon as I started reading.

Cover - 10/10
Characters - 9/10
Plot - 9/10
Narrative style - 10/10

Will I recommend this book?

Korl, the young Ofnastian prince blames himself for the loss of the Chest of Doom to the Akhuts, which has put to risk the realm of Woras. He is given a chance a few years after this terrible tragedy, a quest that will put him to the ultimate test: of loss, fear and his ability to rise above it all.
Young Aaditya has done a simply brilliant job with this fantasy book. The efforts are visible; he went on to write new species, kingdoms, and even a new language of magic. This made the reading experience such a surreal one, I cruised through the book. The characters are very well written, and so is the world building. What I loved the most though, were the battles. Dhar teleported us to the battlefield just with his words, and every jab, every slash, every ounce of blood spilt was visible.
Although, there are a couple of aspects where I feel the book could be polished. I feel like the punctuation errors can be fixed for later projects. Second, I would suggest the young author to use mid chapter breaks instead of suddenly switching scenes with the narrating phrase. A great deal of fantasy authors use mid chapter breaks and they also help the readers with the flow of the text.
Dhar has created a world of beauty, passion and valour with Woras. I sincerely think we need more of this realm. A beautiful and inspiring read, Legend of the Broken Blade is a book about valour and determination.

This book is a dream story which will take you on an excursion of your life time. This book not just satisfies your day to day portion of imagination, great battling the wrongs, journeys and guides yet in addition the aggravation behind the conflict and battles the spilled blood behind the yearning of force.

The writer has written a secretive story of epic class and any individual who has preferred perusing works like Master of the rings, Round of high positions are without a doubt going to cherish this book by Aaditya. The story spins around the strong chest of destruction which got lost and was intended to be safeguarded by the chamber of the four races. It has so extraordinary abilities that in the event that it gets in off-base hands, it can demolish every one of the races. It was taken directly before Korl, the sovereign of Ofnast who is currently bearing the weight of this horrendous mystery.

The plot of the book is written in a connecting with way. With the guide of woras toward the start and the rundown of Magros words toward the finish of book, make it considerably seriously engaging. The books cover is wonderful the book is given guide to direct you through the creation of its own dream land. The characters are elegantly composed and there improvement all through the story is something to anticipate.

The book reached me specially packed. I had the complete opposite feeling after reading the kind of book thought it might be. But in any case, the author's pen deserves praise. And it's a pity that I don't voice his description before reading this book because it greatly reduces my desire to read it. After reading the first two pages of this book, I got a distinct excitement that made me swallow the entire book. This story revolves around Korl, a young prince of Ofnast, who thinks and blames himself for the loss of Chest of Doom. He with his brother join hands together to start a journey in search of the chest of Doom. During the course, Korl learns many things.

Grab this read to know more about what happened at end. I have no authority to call the book bad. Because I was fascinated by the back cover of the book and it was the first time I got attracted to the name. Moreover, from the quality of the page to the description of the book, the author's choice of language, the specification of the language, the consonance of the language, everything has been shown to be skillful.

I would definitely recommend this book to everyone especially to those who love to read historical fiction stories. Grab the book, it won't let you to get bored at any point. This book is a page turner from beginning to end. Language is simple with a good vocabulary. Author has done a great job.
