* Description:
In the margin where land meets sky, a hero’s purpose must die.
When a weary stranger arrives at a teahouse nestled in the World's Jaw mountains, Barbara’s overactive imagination is captured by the heroism that surrounds him, oblivious to the haunted cast of his eyes.
While Barbara delves into the stranger’s mysterious past and is forced to confront the true nature of a hero, dark forces threaten to engulf the mountain peaks. The stranger is faced with a choice: confront the evil rising around them or retreat into the shadows of his past.
A poignant testament to the burden of being a legend in your own time, Fruit of the Oracle explores the mythology and archetypes of classic Fantasy through a modern lens. Perfect for readers who ponder what lies beyond the “happily ever after” of the Chosen One trope, this tale weaves themes of redemption and found family, thrilling adventure and budding romance, self-discovery and coming-of-age.
Where the sun is hot and the air is thin, can anyone ever dare to escape the relentless grip of destiny?
