Before the Dawn: The First Book of the Satya Yuga Chronicles

By Paul Colver

After 2400 years of war the remnants of a once arrogant civilization cobble together the Founding Edicts in order to stay alive. Two hundred years later, a few of the wise and a few of the ruthless come to understand that the Edicts are strangling life out of the living. At the urging of his mother but contrary to everything his grandfather has taught him, a young prince escorts a wizened Sybil to minister to his dying father. The Company of the Lords is outraged and the Hall of Justice become awash with blood. In the Valley of the Sybils a forceful young woman, abandoned as a baby on the dunes to die and now chafing against her constricted life, hears a hope filled prophesy that humankind will once again flourish on an Earth green and bountiful. The boy-prince hears this same prophesy but immersed in his struggles with his father he replies as he has been taught. "The whimsy of dreamers is for the weak." Trapped in a hellish world these two characters collide.
