Dysa of the Nothing: A Fantasy Tale

By Arlynn Lake

Every hero tries to kill the Nothing. Andwith is the first to offer it his hand.

And then there was the Nothing, before him as a human. How was he supposed to defeat this destructive force of darkness that had long plagued his people? It was his duty, the legacy his dying parents bestowed upon him as a warrior to defeat the Nothing, but that was before...before the Nothing became his brother.

Nothing will defeat Nothing.
That is the motto of the People of the Mountains, who have fought endless battles against the dark force known only as the Nothing. Every victory is temporary, every sacrifice swallowed by its return.

Andwith is different. Born with four sacred virtues instead of one, he has been called since childhood the Boy with Four Virtues-wisdom, generosity, leadership, and fortitude. When the elders charge him with the impossible task of ending the Nothing once and for all, Andwith sets out determined to succeed where countless warriors, even his father, have fallen.

But the Nothing doesn't appear as a beast or shadow. This time, it manifests as a boy-confused, frightened, and ashamed of what he is. Saving him instead of destroying him sets Andwith on a path no warrior has ever walked before. Joined by unlikely companions-including a mischievous wolf turned human-Andwith must decide whether compassion is his greatest strength...or his fatal mistake.

A sweeping tale of courage, destiny, and unlikely brotherhood, Dysa of the Nothing is the beginning of an epic fantasy adventure where the greatest battles are fought in the heart.
