When a cryptic call to action echoes from beyond Saebold Lastirn's dead, colorless horizons, he is all too thrilled to leave his home on the isle of Greytide far behind. Strange races, colorful skies, and harrowing battles await him on the vibrant mainland of Almyrigo; a land that would seem of pure fairytale, were it not for the complacent resignation of its inhabitants. Two feuding dominions squabble over their tenuous claims to lands falling slowly to the infestation of eldritch creatures. Their peoples contentedly till and work a soil beneath which the cities and weapons of bygone peoples sleep, stratum upon stratum deep. With every setting of the sun, a nightmarish ecosystem awakens across the land, and all denizens of the sunlight retreat to let it feed and pass. Saebold, at first, does not understand; how so much wonder and so much terror can go so unheeded by a world so vast and limitless. In time, however, he comes to discover what horrible engines crank the wheel of his fantastic adventure. One part political thriller, two parts epic fantasy, and four parts dark and dreamlike mystery, the tale of Saebold's Saga delivers complex and suspenseful action sequences, a detailed, unconventional setting populated by bizarre creatures with mysterious origins, and the introspections of an intrepid yet vulnerable young man. Immerse yourself in the world of Almyrigo through an inexperienced traveler protagonist and a flavorful but approachable writing style. A warm yet sober myth awaits; wherein virtue and justice prevail, but a very lucid evil is perpetually hungry for vengeance.
