Into the Blood of the Sun

By Casey A. Telling

DESTINY IS CALLING...

AND VERANNA MUST ANSWER.

Content to live a simple life, and raised in an academy for girls, Veranna is suddenly faced with the truth regarding her heritage: she is the lost heir to the throne of Emeraldia.

Those who know of her background and latent powers secretly orchestrate her life and education to prepare her for a dangerous future, and not a moment too soon, because danger lurks just beyond the horizon.

Tyrannical despots the world over, fearful of any of the Emeraldian line rising to reclaim their birthright, have become aware of Veranna's existence and work in secret to eliminate or manipulate her--and they have the power and resources to make it happen. Despite the daunting terror of the choices Veranna must make, her only hope for deliverance is to venture into the blood of the sun.

Will she accept her birthright and pursue her rightful inheritance?

Or will she succumb to the temptations and threats of her kingdom's enemies?

An awesome adventure

Unique this book is not. The story of the battle between good and evil is the dominant theme in the history of mankind. Alliances, both false and true; battles, fierce and bloody; and powers, mystical and mighty, are the same elements found in Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, etc. etc. etc. Why do we read the same type of plot over and over again-with different names and different locations and a few unique traits among the characters? Because this story is the essence of humanity. Casey Telling has created some unique characters in this tale which has no dearth of violence. At times it is hard to associate someone who delights in the conquest of others with goodness, even if they are on the good girl's side. Violence may be a necessary evil, but it is not something to be glorified. Personally, I do not enjoy gore, but I enjoyed this book in spite of the ample presence of graphic descriptions of decapitations, dismemberments, etc. The importance of the Creator versus the Dark One conflict precludes any subtlety to the spiritual aspect of this novel. This is definitely a case of the Go(o)d guys versus the (d)evil guys. Into the Blood of the Sun is a self-published book, but it is better than many traditionally published books I have read-including the quality of the editing.

This is a fun and fast paced read with a bounty of complex twists and colorful characters who seem very real. After reading this excellent first book by Mr. Telling, I am eagerly awaiting the next. Stan Knapp
