When Valious El’hart, a deserter and former Captain of the Sakin Army, tries to leave behind the horrors of his past in search of a new life with his beautiful and skilled wife Luci El’hart, he finds himself being pulled back into the military ranks to face an impending evil; Odin, a rebel god who is forcing his way back into the world of Val'era after being exiled for centuries.
The rebel god has made his plans clear: find and take control of the four Odin Talismans. Each artifact grants the wielder one-fourth the power of a god and if Odin claims all four, he will have the power to return to Val’era and control the four Dracos of Destruction. Turmoil begins when Odin takes over the mind of Valious’ wife, Luci, turning her into an enemy as she claims the first talisman towards Odin’s will.
Valious is one of the few remaining Knights who have the ability to manipulate chakra, one’s own life force, and use it to execute unnatural abilities. He no longer has any choice but to rejoin the Sakin Army and hunt down the remaining three Odin Talismans before his possessed wife finds them. On the way, Valious encounters new enemies and friends while trying to figure out what he’s going to do when he encounters his wife in battle. Will he be able to save her mind from Odin, or will he have to make the hardest decision of his life and kill her in order to save their world?
Samy Dib was born in Brooklyn, NY many many years ago. Maybe not that many, but it seems like it sometimes. He served almost 8 years in the United States Marine Corps and now lets his passion for video games and writing fly without restraint. His first novel "Trials of Blood" was self-published in 2013 and he is currently writing the second as we speak.
When he's not writing, he enjoys getting lost in either making, or playing video games while catching the latest hit movies on demand. You have to love on demand!
Very well written. I could the characters in my head and almost feel their pain. War, Magic, Talismans... the Devil's will. It really gets your imagination going. It is discriptive making you think you are there wnating to join in the battles... reach inside yourself and bring out your own Chakra. The mystical power to wield against evil. The book leaves you with a cliffhanger. I can't wait to find out when part 2 comes out. Just wish there was a hint as to what to expect for part 2. I recommend to those of fantasy, magical, mystical readers.
