Suleniar's Enigma #1
The Man Without Hands
Two worlds entwined. A journey across time and space.
Two men who will do anything to resurrect what they've lost.
A boy who yearns to be accepted by his people, and an Eldritch secret that haunts his past.
The last war is on the horizon.
Fifteen processions ago, Sage's father left the City of Yce Ralakar soaked in blood as the result of a failed coup.
With otherworldly enemies searching for the remnants of the once great Sulekiel Empire, the High Elder has declared that all Sulekiel youth must enter a deadly test of strength and otherworldly power to prepare for that war.
Now, with his father's legacy constantly being thrown in his face, Sage of Yce Ralakar must prove himself in the Trials. But, will strength and power be enough? Will the Council of Elders let him succeed? Or will his father's crimes haunt him for the rest of his days?

THE MAN WITHOUT HANDS is an occult dark fantasy based around two separate parallel storylines. The first one is my favorite and dealing with Sage, the son of a traitor, who lives in a magical society where you have to learn how to master your inner magical power in order to become a protector of the world against demons. The second is the titular man without hands who has ended up in our world and is dedicated to dark occult powers. It's a fun indie book that I recommend getting on Kindle Unlimited.

Both Echoes Of Olympus Mons and Mind’s Horizon were clever, well-executed books that took horror into some amazingly fun new places. Rather than simple hack and slash, put on the hockey mask and kill some teenagers having sex, both books added a sci-fi spin to horror. They both had a brooding sense of “something is terribly wrong” that lurked in the narrative like an overbearing lover looking in your window.
The Man Without Hands has some elements of Echoes and Horizon – you can sense the DNA in the stories – but is very different beast. While the celestial horror is still there, The Man Without Hands is more both more exploratory and more action-packed. This is Malikyte taking his time, building worlds and giving us hints at a lot of back story that hopefully will be fleshed out in future installments.
