Rivo: Blade of the Shooting Star

By: Linton, Matthew

"A return to sincere, heroic storytelling... In an age of angsty, nihilistic protagonists, Rivo is a breath of fresh air"

- J.Z. Pitts, author of "Virtual Rebel" and "The Christmas Demon"

A clean epic fantasy with action, adventure, family, friendship, and love

"Rivo was like a shooting star; when it seemed the sun had set on the Kingdom and darkness came, he shone brightly. And like a shooting star, when the sun rose again and the darkness lifted, he was gone."

A menacing enemy, a mysterious power, and a hero looking for a second chance.

Rivo, a young soldier for the kingdom, falls in battle and awakens as a spirit. A strange force sends him back in time to relive the eventful final weeks of his life, but this time as a mere spectator.

Why must he watch his own rise and fall again? Who, or what, holds his fate? Will he ever be able to get his life back? And will he now see some things that he never noticed before?

Join Rivo and his friends they embark on an epic journey through a kingdom under threat, where courage battles despair, family anchors the soul, love can be found in war, and a wish can alter destiny.
