The Second Sun: Volumes I & II

By Kristof Morrow

Book Overview

The Second Sun is three story lines with hundreds of characters surviving war, slavery, mysterious, catastrophic changes in weather, disease, and a danger yet unknown to the world. As you come to know how these stories come together, you will follow a boy named Moo living in a true paradise, his tutor and brilliant physician named Kamo, and her comrade Serkis, seeking to solve the mystery of a coming doom, the great Captain Valara and her crew of Odinites aboard the Raven's Word , a squire named Rade, and his knight Ser Barimon, both stripped their lands amidst civil war, and dozens of others you will come to know, and develop great affection (or contempt for.) You will discover giants, sail to fight or flee from pirates, chase and capture slavers, follow the world's most supreme navy from the occupied nation of Odin, witness the fall of capitol cities, their emperors, lords, and lesser nobles. You will come to adore members of a just rebellion, and even some with which they contend. You will ride atop the wings of tamed, colossal beasts bred in paradise, and learn of the origins of either. You will seek refuge from witches in mountains host also to dire bears, mountain tigers, and warriors scorned by the villainy of empire. Lastly, talking plants of all varieties, dozens of micro-stories about extraordinary humans amongst a greater narrative that offers meals of truth, and wisdom, relevant to life in this world, and our own. It is, above all things, an adventure made animate by hundreds of distinct characters across half a world, written to confess through prose and tale our tendencies poisoned by Dickensian bleakness, and to wholly ameliorate that cynicism by the light and courage of those who live and labor for a just peace.
