Daekazu does it again - Five the Power Rising.

Too Cool for words, right?


Here it is, the first of the four planned prequels to the Chest of Souls series.

The thing with wings is a harpy - one of many varieties/colors.

The man, if you had no idea, is Ammon - the ultimate grandfather of Talon, and the other direct-line sons of Ammon.  The man in the  middle is Ammon wearing the leather-based armor of the Fortress in Brissa.  The women are (on the left) Soline.  To the left is Revaya.  The men with their backs to you:  Vael on the right, Jaydren on the left.

The artist is, once again, Daekazu.  At this moment, he is accepting commissions.
You'll find him here:  http://daekazu.deviantart.com/  Not all of the art is G-rated, so be careful.

Originally, I planned on using what is now the back cover for the front, but changed my mind about the dynamics.  While the back is excellent, I wanted action and lots of color.  I didn't have the clouds in the first go-round, but the artist put them in and I liked them so well, I'm using it.

The prequels are NOT paced the same way as the original nine because it takes place on a different continent with characters that live millennias-long.  They are also adults and that made a big difference.

In these books, you will discover how  the tattered lace of legend got all those fancy holes...
