The Amulet (The Mortican Tetralogy)

By Frank J. Steddenbenz

David knew nothing of the prophecy regarding the Amulet, nor the role of the Scrolls of the Ancients in clarifying its purpose. Though informed by a White One that he had been chosen for a great mission where he might fail or be killed, he ignored his instructions only to have the precious Amulet taken by highwaymen before the quest could even begin. After realizing his unsolicited role as the Keeper of the Amulet, he bands together with members of the four Mortican races to recover what has been lost. Still, can even the prophecy of the Amulet overcome centuries of hatred between the races? And what of the mysterious tyrannical ruler in the central city of Goraz? Will the scrolls unlock his secrets and provide a means of battling his heinous weapons? With the entire culture buried in the midst of its own dark ages, where even the enlightened have limited perspective on events going back more than a few hundred years, there are far more questions than answers. However, one thing is certain: pursued by the Thorax, the secret police of Goraz, a struggle to the death has begun. In this expansive tale of brotherhood and betrayal, beings of uncommon backgrounds learn to trust one another, but not before overcoming bigotry, cruel pursuits, desperate battles, and the limits of honor.
